Anything But! And that's a good thing..

The title of this publication is very misleading. This is not just for American girls! My 11 year old daughter gets a wonderful exposure to many different cultures in this magazine. It is looked forward to every month. It is very much written to her level. She hides herself away until she has read it from cover to cover.

Each issue comes filled with craft ideas, party ideas and timely articles on friendships and how to succeed and handle the pressures of being in those "tween" years.

The publishers of American Girl also have many helpful books including one on personal hygiene which I recommend for every girl as she enters the turbulent body changes that come with growing up.

There is also a new publication (I just subscribed) in the form of a newsletter called Daughters. I received my first issue last week and was overcome with tears when I read the articles that felt like they were written right at me and the stressful issues my daughter and I are now starting to face.

This is very high quality and wholesome reading for our girls and I highly recommend it!
