You are Wondrous Ashley Elizabeth Mitchell

"A beautiful work of art, both in poetry and artwork, from the deepest corners of a mother's heart." -Kat Caldwell author of An Audience with the King and Push a Pencil"In a world that is so broken and negative, affirming that the girls and women in our lives are whole, wonderful beings is so important. They are perfect as they are. It's the biggest gift we can give them. I will be giving this to my grown daughters, as a reminder. And to my granddaughter, so she knows how wonderful and what a special gift she is!" -Lisa Cartier, Women's Health Practitioner and Doula with Women's Integrative Health"Mrs. Mitchell wrote a touching and moving piece with intentionality and love in every word. This book moved me to tears as I soaked in the words that I am "planned, complete, enough, and wondrous". It is so easy to forget we were once young girls filled with life, warmth, and wonder. I am inspired to find 'that girl' within myself today!" -Erin Borrett writer at Broken Not BrokeYou are Wondrous is a beautiful and encouraging poem written for growing girls and women. This poem was written to help encourage, guide, and spread strength and love to our daughters who are growing up. The artwork in this book has been created out of news articles that were features about women in Maine accomplishing amazing things and doing good in the world. The poem and art were inspired by the author's two daughters and titled by her oldest daughter. This book was specially designed to provide an ease of reading experience for those who need a large typeface and for those who may have dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia. To all the daughters in this wonderful world, 'You are smart, you are brave. You have the sun in your hands'.
