Un libro repleto de aventuras que se convertirán en una fuente de inspiración para todos.

Prepárense para conocer a jóvenes valientes y soñadoras de todo el mundo, que desafían los estereotipos y que, con su valentía y sus hazañas, salvarán a sus amigos, a su familia y a la sociedad de varias amenazas. 

Conocerán a la maravillosa Atlanta, que manejaba a la perfección su arco y flecha; a Tokoyo, quien rescató a su padre del exilio. Les encantará la historia de Tatterhood, quien vistió harapos hasta que los demás la aceptaran tal cual era; o la de Unanana, quien enfrentó con valentía a un malvado elefante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover the inspiring tales of kick-ass girls in this empowering collection of classic children's tales, retold by multi-award-winning author Anita Ganeri.
 
Showcasing narratives that celebrate strong, independent women, these fairy tales contain heroines that aren't reduced to being wives or witches! Instead, they run free and possess the qualities we would hope for in our daughters and friends: self-confidence, strength, wits, courage, fearlessness, and independence. They live freely, happily ever after, without restraint or narrowly defined roles.
 
These stories include:

• Atalanta the Huntress (Greece)
• Nana Miriam (Niger)
• Fitcher's Bird (Germany)
• The Girl and the Puma (Argentina)
• Li Chi Slays the Serpent (China)
• Brave Woman Counts Coup (US/White River Sioux)
• Mizilca (Romania)
• The Pirate Princess (Poland/Jewish)
• The Samurai Maiden (Japan)
• Molly Whuppie (England)
 
Accompanied by magical illustrations, these stories will capture the hearts and minds of young readers everywhere.
