In diesem beeindruckenden Bildband versammelt die Fotografin Kate T. Parker mehr als 175 Aufnahmen von Mädchen im Alter von 5 bis 18 Jahren. Sie porträtiert abenteuerlustige, freche und neugierige, aber auch ruhige, nachdenkliche und kreative Mädchen. Eines haben sie alle gemeinsam: Sie sind authentisch und mutig genug, sich vor der Kamera so zu zeigen, wie sie wirklich sind: wild, frei und wunderbar! Ihre Aufnahmen beweisen, dass wahre Schönheit nichts mit einer bestimmten Körperform zu tun hat, nichts damit, ob man lächelt, seine Haare frisiert oder sich hübsch zurechtgemacht hat. Dieser unvergessliche Fotoband sprengt alle Stereotype und zeigt, dass Mädchen alles sein können, was sie wollen – solange sie sie selbst sein dürfen.
To historie wspaniałych, silnych, dumnych i nieustraszonych młodych dziewczyn, które są dowodem na to, że płeć nie ma znaczenia, a bycie dziewczyną nie ma granic. Opowieść o tym, że chłopcy i dziewczynki mogą robić, co chcą. Dziewczyny mogą robić to, co chłopcy, a chłopcy to, co dziewczynki. Możesz być jak dziewczynka i możesz być jak chłopak (Esme, 5 lat). Dziewczyny mają moc to inspiracja dla dziewczyn i kobiet, by dawały z siebie wszystko, by odważnie ustanawiały własne granice i bez lęku sprawdzały na co je stać. Dziewczyny na zdjęciach Kate T. Parker mówią własnym głosem. Głośno. Spełniają swoje marzenia, robią plany, nieustannie sięgają po więcej. One wiedzą, że jeśli tylko zechcą, mogą wszystko.
