I struggled to think about what would be a good first post for the site, and decided that you can't go wrong with recommending great reads. Below is a list of books that are excellent resources for anyone raising a daughter or who teaches young girls. These books range from research about best practices and development, to self help books for teen girls, to books that just have a girl as the protagonist. With a few weeks left of summer, go ahead and add a book or two or three to your summer reading list!
