Last week I showed this video that I found over on You Tube that retells the story You Are Special (1997).  Traditionally, I read this in connection with new year devotionals that I lead for our Christian School—Cornerstone Christian Academy.

I’ve learned that there are tales from Wemicksville–  You are Mine (2001), If I Only Had a Green Nose (2002), and Best of All (2003).

I also ran across e-mail thread (with the Christian Educators Association) of good books for young girls.

As a dad, I’m always in this market. Below is my working list so far.  Anyone have anything to suggest? – jf

• The Lily Fiction Series by Nancy Rue

            Targeted at girls 8-12 years of age.  Fiction that introduces Lily and embodies inner beauty more than outer beauty.

• The Beauty Book: Its a God thing! by Nancy Rue.

            This book talks about hair, skin, clothes, “don’t
            trash your temple”, and many other subjects, all within the framework of
            godly perspective.

• Secret Keeper Girl: 8 Great Dates for You and Your Daughter by Dannah Gresh.

            It focuses on Godly beauty with activities for mothers and daughters.

• The Princess and the Kiss by Jennie Bishop

            This is a story of God’s gift of purity written in a fairy tale format.

• Gigi: God’s Little Princess (for younger girls).

            The focus of this series is the fact that little girls are in fact God’s little princesses.

• A Parable About the King by Beth Moore (2003).

           This is a 30 page beautifully illustrated “once upon a time” princess story.
