Every Girl Tells a Story: A Celebration of Girls Speaking Their Minds

Carolyn Jones, Girl Scouts of the Usa. Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, $19.95 (96pp) ISBN 978-0-689-84872-8

A collaboration with Girl Scouts of the USA, Every Girl Tells a Story: A Celebration of Girls Speaking Their Minds by photographer and documentary filmmaker Carolyn Jones, captures the voices and faces of 96 girls (some Girl Scouts, others not) aged 13-18 in full-color and b&w photographs to create one striking volume. They discuss their inspirations and their ambitions in their own words, from dreams of opening a women's clinic in Iran to becoming a U.S. senator. First Lady Laura Bush provides the foreword. (Mar.)
