"Abundantly necessary. Holly Hatam's simple, stark style and
limited palette reflect the essential and basic nature of equality,
conveying that Dear Girl can be any girl. Dear Girl ends with love.
Scary times call for extra love." -- New York Times Book Review ★
"This picture book should have a permanent place on every
empowering book display your library puts up. A must purchase. Each
missive reminds readers to be herself, be smart, be adventurous,
sometimes cry, and always listen to your instincts. The
mother-daughter connection is always loving and personal." --
School Library Journal (starred review)"A mother-daughter team
offers a love letter encouraging girls to accept and love
themselves. They advise girls to be confident, to speak up, and to
be curious and adaptable to anything. Sure to be a hit for mothers
and daughters of all ages for its warm, supportive message." --
Booklist"The missives are generally empathetic and
up-to-the-minute."
-- Publishers Weekly
