For years Christiane Northrup M.D., has taught women about heath, wellness, and the miracle of their bodies. Now, in her first children’s book, she presents these ideas to the youngest of girls.
Beautiful Girls presents this simple but important message: that to be born female is a very special thing and carries with it magical gifts and powers that must be recognized and nurtured. Dr. Northrup believes that helping girls learn at a young age to value the wonder and uniqueness of their bodies can have positive benefits that will last throughout their lives. By reading this lovely book, little girls will learn how their bodies are perfect just the way they are, the importance of treating themselves with gentle care, and how changes are just a part of growing up.
This is a picture book.
It took me less than five minutes to go through the entire book but I like that the book offers an empowering message about attitude and its impact on our female body.
Beautiful Girl begins with the following,
Hello, beautiful girl.
Do you know how lucky you are?
Why? Because you were born a girl!
And as a girl, you have been given special gifts that will bloom as you do.
I love the way the book begins.
The words are inviting and the pictures?
They are adorable!
If you’re like me, who just love messages and illustrations that are uplifting and positive, you’ll enjoy reading this book. 
This sounds like a wonderful book for young girls. The illustrations are gorgeous, Henrietta. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I’m guessing they don’t do a boy version? Might be worth getting this for friends who have girls though
