My Feet Aren't Ugly : A Girl's Guide to Loving Herself from the Inside Out

In a humorous, breezy style, this book by teen counsellor Debra Beck instructs young women (target age: 10-14 years) about how to feel good about themselves.

She uses personal anecdotes from her youth, as well as stories about the young women she knows and works with, to illustrate her points and provide examples.

She covers topics such as not succumbing to peer pressure, treating people well, finding friends who treat you well, being kind to your body, developing healthy habits, finding enjoyable hobbies, personal responsibility, eating disorders, suicide, and physical intimacy.

The book contains numerous whimsical line drawings, and interspersed through the chapters are prompts for the reader to journal about her thoughts, feelings, and past actions.
