For little Girls with Big DreamsAuthor Illustrator Ariana GuptaPublisher The Write PlaceGenre Short Stories Self help motivational Format PaperbackPages 72Rating 5 5This book is a collection of five short stories with protagonists as girls The five stories are The Little Mermaid Snow White Sleeping Beauty Beauty and the Beast and Cindrella Though you might have heard Disney s version of these stories but the way this author has re told these stories is a tight slap that too without sound hehehe on the face of Disney After reading author s version of these stories I am sure you will appreciate author s work The Author has broken all the gender stereotypes through her stories Each story has something new to teach which is really impactful If Children read these sorts of books I am sure there will be no room for gender stereotypes in the world I wonder why Disney s version of women was always Damsel in Distress Recently I saw a video on insta where a girl highly criticized Disney s version of Sleeping Beauty She questioned how could someone kiss the sleeping beauty without her permission This video left a deep impact of on me and I felt the need that someone has to take the responsibility for presenting the right version of these stories as what we feed children s mind shapes their personality So it is very important to tell them the stories with right versions I am really glad that author has taken this responsibility and executed it so well I am really proud of such Indian Authors I am sure this book would be an international best seller too And to be true this book is really empowering not only for the tiny tots but for the grown ups also who have grown up seeing disney s distorted version of these stories Its time to read the right ones. I feel this book should be made into animated series also and should be translated into various languages to be telecasted on the various screens in different countries Books like these are need of the hour The language is very lucid clear and easy keeping children in mind Writing style is engaging Execution and narrations are beautifully done Illustrations are really heart touching Thus special appreciations Without the illustrations book would not be as charming as it is now The names of characters were easy to remember and each character was beautifully sketched Dialogues are well penned. The author has very categorically mentioned words of wisdom in each story through atleast one character in the story Quoting of them here Always remember Parvati someone who truly loves you will always love you just the way you are You should be proud of your tail and shouldn t trade it for anything else As for this human forget him he doesn t deserve you To be true this book has deeply impacted my life I have learned to accept and cherish myself as I am One who loves me will love me as I am and same holds true for me also If I love someone I should love them as he is Focusing on carrer is important and don t let someone take credit of your work Be outspoken and bold Don t leave your carrer plans to please someone Beauty comes in colors This book has so much to teach if someone is willing to learn. The cover page is really alluring with all the protagonists in one frame The Title is so apt and it caught my attention at once The blurb is interesting too The quality of paperback is really good The illustrations need a special appreciations I felt as if I am watching a movie I feel the target audience of this book is not only children but grown ups too I really cherish the book and got to learn a lot Also would request the author to continue with this series of book Masterpiece Highly Appreciated and Highly recommended Paperback Much needed retelling of old age fairy tales Stories could have been better though Paperback
