Book description
Empowering, inspiring and straight-talking, this is the book that is
every teenage girl's best friend. The butterfly is a symbol of
transformation. It reminds us that we are all able to change. We can
make choices and we are in control. We can choose to replace the
messages that shout 'You are not enough' - not hot enough, thin enough,
talented enough, popular enough - every time we open a magazine, watch a
music video or go into a clothes store. The Girl with the Butterfly
Tattoo encourages girls to question the limiting messages advertisers,
the media and our culture keep pushing: that a girl's greatest worth is
her looks, and beauty comes in only one size and shape. It inspires and
empowers girls to find their strength and be true to their own hearts
and minds. This book is for you if:* You're tired of having days when
everything just seems to make you feel 'less' - less beautiful, less
powerful, less happy, less in control.* You've ever been frozen out by a
friend and it has wrecked your whole day.* You, or a friend, are trying
to deal with something major - binge-drinking, drugs, anorexia or
bulimia, self-harm, depression.* You'd prefer to have your own style,
not dress head-to-toe in the same labels as everyone else.* You have
piles of homework and want to find the best way to study that suits
you.* You'd like some tips on creating the future you want after
school'Finally a book for teenage girls that does not patronise or
attempt to police them! The Girl with the Butterfly Tattoo empowers teen
girls to make their own choices.' -- Nina Funnell, writer, women's
