An introduction to girls and their sports dreams
Rating:
5 / 5
"New Moon" magazine is devoted to helping girls discover their hopes and dreams. It always has an editorial board of girls ages ten to fourteen from across the country (although it is put together here in Duluth), which certainly ensures that the perspective accurately reflects the target audience. "New Moon Sports" covers why sports are good for girls, the benefits of competition, a brief history of women in sports, and information about how to keep your body healthy. Some of the more interesting features are a look at sports myths (e.g., boys are better at sports than girls), interviews with famous athletes (Bonnie Blair and Cathy Rigby), helpful tips (e.g., Hot Soccer Tips), and lots of suggestions as to what girls can do in terms of sports. Consequently, this is a valuable introductory text. There is not a lot of depth to the information presented herein, but what is here is on valuable and on target. There are also numerous sources for additional information where girls can easily go to find out more about whatever topic interests them, whether it is body image, a particular sport, or a favorite athlete. Other equally worthwhile books from "New Moon" focus on friendship, money, and writing.
two thumbs up!

This book was written by girls just like you. It will make you laugh, smile and even cry. But most of all it will give you a wonderful sense of self confidence and help you reach out and make friends. I highly reccomend it, that is, if you want to be sure of yourself in friendships, self confident and happy with your friends. I give it a big smile and two thumbs up!
Friendship Can Make New Moons Shine
Rating:
5 / 5
Sometimes I forget how wonderful friendship is. Being a young girl, I love my friends very much. I cherish and enjoy the time I spend with them. Friends can help you dance to your own rhythm, help your flower bloom, help your dreams come true. New Moon's new book about friendship, definitely supported these feelings of mine. There will never be anyone more wonderful than the people we love, and those people are our friends. I think what made this book so wonderful for me was how inspirational friendship was expressed within its pages. The poems and stories made me realize how our friends can be inspirations for our writings, for our art. Friends not only illustrate feelings, they let our feelings blossom. I am so happy to read this book, because from reading it, I know someone is supporting my feelings.
