Summary: Celebrating Friendships, Celebrating Ourselves!
Review: An award-winning author and expert on the issues concerning young women and girls, Catherine Dee has again delved into the inner spirits and expansive outer lives of her subject, this time getting to the heart of what makes a young woman's life so enriching: her friendships. The Girls' Book of Friendship is a collection of personal essays, inspirational quotes and heartfelt poetry that shine a light on the bonds that give breath to our being. Not limited to same-age, same-gender peer friendships, The Girls' Book celebrates the sibling, parent and other relative as friend, as well as the often overlooked value in the comradeship found in members of the opposite sex. With celebrity quotes from pop icons including Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, The Girls' Book also invokes the likes of Jane Austen, Helen Keller and Alice Walker. Quotes given by a wide range of women -- from a present-day environmental scientist to poets of antiquity -- highlight how the importance of friendship is perhaps one of the few universal truths that breaks all boundaries of time, place, culture, age, religion and race. With Pal Projects like starting a mother-daughter reading group to Friendly Facts and Quick Lists that offer tips on being a good listener and help on evaluating whether or not someone would make a good friend, this 200-page compact pocketbook proves that good things come in small packages. Dee has once again tapped into the playfulness and appreciation of a woman's world while underscoring a common sense of empowerment.

Review: The Girls' Book of Friendship was a huge success with one newly 13-year-old -- my granddaughter. It's the first gift I have given her since she was a wee one that I know she truly likes. I could hear it in her voice when she told me about it. In reading it, she feels the company of other girls. This book has assisted me in building a bridge to my granddaughter, which feels wonderful.
