Sasha Smart: Short Stories for Girls by Shermaine Perry-Knights
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the premise of this book and I think it was well executed for the most part. I liked that the stories were short and to-the-point to keep the attention of the reader. I also felt that the “lessons” in the stories were very poignant and spot on for today’s girls. The only thing that gives me pause is how much emphasis is put on Sasha being able to attain these attributes comes from her friends. While I completely understand the importance of friends and friendship (especially at this age) I think it is also important to stress that you also have your family (which is shown in the book) but also that these attributes can come from within as well and you don’t always need (or will have) that outside influence there to positively push you. But overall, I would recommend this book and I like the message it sent and the illustrations were absolutely amazing.
