A beautiful and poignant message lies at the heart of this book: whatever is expected of you, you can be whoever you want to be.

On the day your daughter is born, read this poem to her, then read it to her every day after until she can read it to herself, until she loves it and lives it. With an inspirational message, Dreams for our Daughters speaks of what it means to be a child in this challenging world. A perfect gift for baby showers, graduations, and other celebrations, Dreams for Our Daughters is a book girl will treasure throughout their lives.

The lyrical, mesmerising text wafts through the pages sending encouraging words of the possibilities that await on this magical planet, and messages of courage, kindness and vision.

With the empowerment of girls at its heart, it could so easily have fallen into the trap of being a book that you think you ‘should’ read rather than want to, but it is something else entirely. On international women’s day this beautiful hardback book celebrates women and all they are capable of. The world is waiting just for you, ready for you to explore and find your place, in this mesmerising collaboration from Ruth Doyle and Ashling Lindsay.I appreciated the nods to cleaning up the ocean and to gay pride, but it all felt a little forced and heavy-handed to me. It takes me back to that sense of anticipation that is both longing and dread, but captures the heart of how I felt about her: So never be labeled as less than you are.
