I'm a Girl. See what I can be!

Written by Eunice Olsen

Narrated by Eunice Olsen

Inspired by the International Emmy® nominated Online video series WomenTalk, this collection of poems features stories of 10 strong and courageous Asian women who hail from Singapore, The Philippines, Nepal, and Thailand. This book is written by Eunice Olsen, a former Nominated Member of Parliament in Singapore, Miss Universe Singapore 2000, actress, host, and executive producer of WomenTalk.

Through this series of poems, Eunice hopes to encourage girls from all over the world to know they can be who they want to be and to never give up, just like these women role models whose stories give us hope and strength. This book is for the boys as well, who will play a really important role and be there to empower these girls, to respect women, and to help bring our world to gender parity.

Having also been inspired by many people who are differently abled, many of whom have been featured on WomenTalk, Eunice felt the best people to illustrate the books would be differently abled artists. Ten talented artists have interpreted the poems in their own unique way and have given life and perspective to the words in the poems.

As an additional feature, the book also includes a small write up of these unsung 'sheroines' and links to the WomenTalk videos that feature them, where you get up close and personal watching the women tell their stories in the interview.

Suitable for girls and boys age 6 to 13, but older teens and adults might appreciate these stories as well!
