Just for Girls
So You Can Be Strong, Brave, and True to Yourself
A letter from Penelope
Hi,
My name is Penelope J Miller. I’m the narrator of Ashley Rice’s books, and now this website too. I want to say hello and introduce the books to you. The drawings and poems on these pages were made especially for you. They’re here to keep you posted on all the possibilities in the world—and to remind you how valued and talented you are.
Some of the pages in these books talk about the simple things in life. When you’re out there finding your way, it’s important to remember what makes you happy. For me, Penelope, those things include reading books and sometimes eating chocolate.
Oh, and one more thing! Always remember that you are brave and strong. You do amazing things every day—never forget it. Dreams take work, but they take dreaming, too. So happy reading. Wherever you are, and whatever’s going on in your life, I hope you have a great day—and that all your dreams come true! And if you need a friend, I’m here in these pages.
Your friend,
Penelope J.
Penelope J. Miller.
