I loved this book. I truly think that this is an important book for children to read, especially girls. I enjoyed learning about the different stories of these girls, and how they overcome their challenges. Additionally, this book is beautifully illustrated. Everyone should read this book.
I got this book from Netgalley for a honest review.

Firstly, this book is BEAUTIFULLY illustrated.
Beyond that, it does what it sets out to do well in an accessible way for children and I learned some things along the way about a day I'm sure many don't realise exists or at least when it is.
We see a diverse range of girls and their stories and I can see this being a valuable resource within a classroom.
I only wish that there was more of it!

It's a little bit long for kindies and grade 1, so I would read one girl's story at a time. Definitely want to bring to my future class!

I was able to read International Day of the Girl by Jessica Dee Humphreys and Rona Ambrose for free from Netgalley for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book celebrates girls and their potential to change the world. It does a great job of explaining social injustices and inequalities around the world.

Every girl and boy needs this book! The International Day of the Girl features stories of girls all over the world who are brave, fierce, confident, bright, inventive, and so much more. The illustrations are beautiful and I love that these stories are about unknown girls who are living their lives on their own terms. It’s inspiring and there are so many takeaways hidden in each page. I definitely recommend!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Not sure who is the intended reader of this book. The text is not kid friendly. The whole presentation confused me.

The International Day of The Girl gives kids a chance to see what the eponymous day is all about. Offering up an exploration of what the International Day of the Girl is, a timeline of how it came to be, and examples of how girls are fighting gender-specific oppression around the world, this book is a short but thorough introduction to the day. It's told in a picture book style, but the level is definitely intended for older children to read, although it could definitely be read with younger children as well. I loved that it included many different countries and types of oppression, especially that it featured disabled girls, although I wish it had included the gender-specific violence that LGBTQ+ girls faced too.
Overall this is a solid little read, and it is a great introduction for older kids to the International Day of the Girl. I would recommend it.

The International Day of the Girl by Jessica Dee Humphreys is a delightful, little children's book all about girls around the world!
October 11th is International Day of the Girl, which is celebrated by the United Nations. This book celebrates all of the girls and emphasizes how great girls can be!
This book seems like it's just a picture book, but it's closer to Grade 5 and up, with more of a middle grade audience seeming appropriate. But advanced young readers will love it just the same! It's a great educational novel to help empower girls and let them know about the struggles of others. I see this book as one that will put your life in perspective, hence why middle graders might be better suited to the conversations of this book. There's also a pinch of history thrown in this book too!
The cover is super colourful and inviting, bringing a lot of attention to this book. All of the illustrations in this book are colourful - with flowers and vegetables and trees bringing the rainbow onto the page.
Overall, this is a great book to teach about the empowerment of women and how not everyone has the same advantages in life.
Three out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
