eBook
(Diego Beach Publishing May 25, 2015)
This book is also available in paperback format, which includes lined pages for journaling.
Our six book series is designed to empower girls to navigate their way through life with confidence, self-esteem, compassion, creativity, collaboration and joy through the thoughtful contemplation and expression of their own unique perspectives, ideals and experiences.
Each book is excellent as a journal for one girl or as a tool in a group setting for writing and discussion. Topics are particularly relevant today, such as, "Cookie Cutter." Journal entries do not talk down or issue simple edicts, but respect the intelligence and individuality of every girl.
Society's definition of beauty is a myth. Use the notes space in this book to explore, identify and discover your own personal brand of beauty.
Cookie Cutter
They call them cookie cutter houses
Each looks the same as every other one
Like cookies cut from a mold
They are so similar
That it's difficult to tell them apart
The message seems to be
That each should appear
Exactly as the others
As though conformity
Equates to quality
But I am not
A cookie cutter girl
Who designs herself
To be like everybody else
I want to be like one of those houses
On an interesting street
That draws your attention
Because it is different in a way
That intrigues you
And makes you wish
You could take a peek inside
I don't want to build a house
That is so like the rest
That I can't even tell which is mine
I want to build something
Different than the rest
Because I am not
A cookie cutter girl
