About this listen
This collection of uplifting tales is a must-have if you want to bring out the best in your daughter.
Are you worried that your child's low self-esteem will prevent her from pursuing friendships and opportunities to shine?
You’re not alone. Almost every parent hopes their kid grows up to be confident in who they are and content in their own skin.
You want them to be prepared for life in the real world, but you know that talking it out won't do the trick. Just telling them what to do and not do won’t be enough to instill the values you want them to adopt.
To help your daughter understand what you're trying to say, it can be helpful to tell stories about other girls in similar situations. All the wisdom in the world won't mean a thing if they can't relate to the characters and situations in the stories.
This audiobook has you covered with a variety of motivational stories, each of which is designed to teach a lesson that will serve your child well as they mature into adulthood.
Your child will gain a better understanding of the consequences of not facing fears and overcoming obstacles, as well as the benefits of carefully listening to adults, forming positive relationships, and relying on one's own capabilities, through the stories presented here.
To help your child become a better person, read on and discover:
- Motivating stories of six girls who overcame adversity and found success.
- How to get over hesitation, self-doubt, and develop self-confidence by having faith in one's own abilities.
- A surefire method of encouraging your kid to break out of their shell and explore the world beyond their immediate environment.
- Teamwork makes the dream work–the importance of working together to succeed.
- An encouraging tale of perseverance to instill grit and determination in your child despite the many challenges they will face in life.
- The significance of family–no matter how far they go, it’s always important to remember where you came from.
- Relatable stories based on real-life situations to prepare your child for possible scenarios they may encounter in the future.
And much more!
As a parent, it is your responsibility to teach and care for your child in the right ways. And you'll need to use your imagination and creativity to get them to absorb and apply these lessons.
These stories will give you an effortless way to impart wisdom to your child without making them feel like they’re getting a lecture. Give them the gift of inspiration today.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,779
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

A Great Read!
Different life lessons are given by each story in a manner children can comprehend. I liked the various friendships of these children who were racially diverse and the fact that they had to undergo several steps towards being self-confident as well as acquire relational skills. These stories were quite heart-warming yet lovely to read! Highly recommended!
