Many of us complain about the princess-y and weak girl characters we sometimes see depicted in books and movies. Here is a collection to combat those stereotypes. You and your daughter will delight in the hilarious adventures of "Clementine," the precocious "Ramona the Pest" and enjoy learning about life in Africa from "Anna Hibiscus." The books showcase different ways to show female spirit. Whether she's more like the powerful force of thunder in "Thunder Rose" or the more imaginative but low-key "Queen of France", your daughter will surely find a kindred spirit in this collection.
