Stories for Girls

Short tales of brave heroines, unlikely friendships and small everyday triumphs make up this illustrated anthology for young readers. Each story is self-contained and sized for a single sitting, which makes the collection easy to use at bedtime when only ten minutes are left. Settings range from magical kingdoms to ordinary situations a child will recognise, and the themes lean toward kindness, confidence and persistence without turning into lessons. Illustrations sit alongside the text throughout, giving newer readers a visual foothold on each page. What comes with this edition: • Several standalone stories collected under one cover. • Story lengths judged for a single bedtime reading. • Illustrated pages that support readers still gaining confidence. • Themes of friendship, courage and imagination throughout. Suited to children from about four upward, whether read aloud by an adult or tackled alone by a newly independent reader; published by Igloo Books and available at Boipoka.
