Youth: Caroline Paul Tuesday, March 22, 2016, 7:00 p.m. The Gutsy Girl: Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure RSVP HERE.
Do you want the young girls in your life to experience the joy of adventure? To believe that they can jump off rocks, swing on ropes, and climb trees and not allow fear to stand in their way? In The Gutsy Girl, author Caroline Paul emboldens girls to seek out a life of exhilaration. Once a young scaredy-cat herself, Caroline decided that fear got in the way of the life she wanted--of excitement, confidence, self-reliance, friendship, and fun. She has since flown planes, rafted big rivers, climbed tall mountains, and fought fires as one of the first female firefighters in San Francisco. In The Gutsy Girl, she shares her greatest escapades as well as those of other girls and women from throughout history, and offers engaging activities such as confidence-building stances, creating a compass, positive self-talk, and using crickets to estimate outside temperatures. Each section includes a place for girls to “journal” their adventures, thus encouraging a new generation to develop a zest for challenges and a healthy relationship to risk. The Gutsy Girl is Lean In for young girls, a book about the glorious things that happen when you unshackle from fear and open up to exhilaration. The Gutsy Girl encourages girls to do and make interesting things, to be brave and to have fun. Doesn't get better than that! |
