When The Daring Book for Girls came out, I bought copies not just for my own girls, but for their friends.  If I could have afforded it, I would have gone around handing out the book like a missionary.

Authors Andrea Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz are back starting today with a new compilation of how-to and how-come tidbits that every girl ought to know.  From inspirational stories about daring women throughout history to step-by-step directions for classic games and cool tricks, The Double-Daring Book for Girls takes the daring phenomenon to the next level for our female future leaders.

What I really love about this book is that it dares girls to look out for themselves--and others--by being kind and speaking their minds and going after what they want. That sort of confidence and self-esteem is priceless, and I dare say that's something that we all want our girls to learn. -Julie
