New Children's Book Promotes Pure Girl Power

Las Vegas (PRWEB) February 7, 2008 -- The Handy Girls Can Fix It! by Barbara Ciarlantini and Mary Schwartz is a book that teaches girls to be self-reliant by adopting non-traditional roles.

In The Handy Girls Can Fix It!, five young girls have a fix-it shop, where they work together to help friends and neighbors. Whether they are repairing a bike, building a scarecrow for someone's garden, or painting an old doghouse, the girls work as a team and get the job done. When one Handy Girl's little brother and his friend come to the fix-it shop to have a broken cookie jar put back together, the boys want to stick around, and in doing so, accidentally get into mischief. In the end, the Handy Girls find a way to fix the situation by making the boys their own clubhouse.

Despite their own unique backgrounds, personalities, and special interests, the Handy Girls share a common bond. With every expression of creativity and with every act of helping others, the girls build their self-esteem and begin to recognize pride in themselves and their work. Empowering girls of all ages, The Handy Girls Can Fix It! breathes confidence into the minds of its readers and reveals a whole new world of opportunities to girls.

Chosen for the International Reading Association/Children's Book Choices List, The Handy Girls Can Fix It! has been endorsed by Girls Clubs of America, Parenting Guidance Centers, Junior Achievement and others.
