"All Things Girl" is the ground breaking series of books for Catholic tweens that as five titles and a journal. Simple truths from John Paul II's Theology of the Body are used to develop virtues... This description may be from another edition of this product.
We came across the boys book "All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters" through William Donohue's magazine, "The Catalyst." That great write up led us to the boys book which in turn led us to this wonderful series for our girls! Although the boy's book is one larger book and is black and white, the girl's books are in a fun series with great color and graphics but with the same overall theme: It is fun and exciting and a blessing to be a Catholic kid! Each book in the girl's series has some of the same information but we figured that is because not everyone will buy all the books and the information is too important to be left out. For instance each of the first couple of pages talks about dignity of person and that each girl is a daughter of the King. Each book also has a saint and helps the girls learn how to have a rewarding prayer life from a very young age. To keep costs down we bought the series for our girls to share but then bought them each their own journal. The books are rotating around and each girl is busy writing in her journal and keeping track of her prayer life. We were quite excited to find out that these books are now a series on Catholic television (EWTN) and will all be watching with books in hand with great anticipation for some more fun and learning.

As a mother making those first steps into teaching my daughter about the changes coming as she approaches her teen years, I appreciate this book. It opens up topics for further discussion. I find the writing style and content to be just what is needed. Thanks to the authors for writing this book!
What a find!

What a find! I had been looking for a good Catholic resource for my daughters who are all interested in fashion, beauty tips, media, friends, etc., but there wasn't anything out there until the All Things Girl series. These books are truly a treasure my girls love! Not only because they contain current topics, but also they contain solid Catholic teachings on dignity, vocation, saints, virtues and a plan girls can implement for their prayer life. Each book is beautifully designed with lots of color, quizes, ideas for projects, and an examination of conscience related to the topic of the book. These books are a must for every Catholic girl!
Little Sis is lovin' it

My 12-year-old sister is homeschooled and I take charge of her instruction once a week, adding a class on Social Skills, Manners and Etiquette. This series has a bit of everything that I envisioned teaching her. I find some of the layout/pictures cheesy or too, how shall I put this, pink, but I probably would have loved it at her age. She thinks it is the coolest school book ever. Don't forget to get the journal. She likes it so much she brought it on our cruise!
Absolutely wonderful!
