Girls Do Good

by Jos Dirkx, Bianca De Jong (Illustrator), Jade Isaks (Other), Thalia Suzuma (Editor)

Overview

'Girls Do Good' is an augmented reality infused book featuring the stories of 11 real-life superheroes changing the world.

A 'good' girl used to mean being a nice girl. A quiet girl. A girl who played by the rules, didn't speak up, and didn't challenge the system. We are consciously choosing to re-write the narrative about the meaning of 'being good'. This is about your own version of good.

"All around the world, girls are identifying things that they want to change. The stories in 'Girls Do Good' are just a snapshot of the creativity and problem-solving abilities of girls." - Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize winner

"Owning and accepting that you are special before anyone else does can not only empower you, but others, too! You can change the world, like all of the other girls in this book." - Huda Kattan, Beauty Blogger and CEO of Huda Beauty
