The Gutsy Girl

Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure

De: Caroline Paul

Narrado por: Tara Sands

From a real-life derring-do woman, exhilarating stories, activities, and tips to inspire girls to pursue a life of adventure and excitement.
Why should girls miss out on the joy of adventure? They can jump off rocks, swing on ropes, and climb trees just as well as boys can. But girls often 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. Fully illustrated and enlivened throughout by bestselling illustrator Wendy MacNaughton's whimsical pen-and-ink drawings.

Includes a PDF of Maps, Illustrations, and Journal Entry Pages

I couldn't get past the way the story teller spoke

I couldn't get in to this book bc the story teller in Audible was too distracting. a bit obnoxious

was hoping for something it wasnt

Its on me and should have done a little more homework. nothing against the book, just not what I thought it was going to be.

Wish I would have read this when I was ten!

I loved this book! I can't wait to share it with my nieces. Chock full of adventures, challenges, and feels.

Exciting, thrilling, encouraging, and fun! Loved the stories and wow the narrator - wish it didn't end!
