What People Are Saying

"This is a must-have book for every tween or teen girl in your life! Great advice, presented in a catchy and fun way."

-Walmart 5-Star Review

"I’m not generally into motivational books but this book has changed my opinion and I would recommend this for all girls aged 8 – 18. This is not a book to be read in one sitting but opened at the appropriate chapter for the time. An election coming up or major news event; read #BeInformed. It’s the start of the sports season; read #BeStrong."

Fantastic Book for Girls!

"Essential and inspirational advice written in a fun way that draws girls in. My daughter is actually reading it without my telling her to -- amazing! Could not be more appropriate for an age when girls are dealing with so many issues . This is an empowering resource that every girl and every library should have."

-Reviewed by John L.

Inspired!

"Fantastic! I LOVED reading this book and so did my almost 12 year old daughter. We were both inspired and empowered... best part is that my daughter was ableto connect, understand and really appreciate the ideas and advice."

-Reviewed by Michelle B.

"This is a must-have book for every tween or teen girl in your life! Great advice, presented in a catchy and fun way."

-Reviewed by Heather

"I am completely impressed with this book which is based on ten pieces of advice to help middle grade girls become the best that they can be. The book not only covers basic topics that will guide girls through school and then later in life, but it includes the tools and practical advice on how to achieve them, quotes and interviews from middle school students and successful women, websites to reference, and more. I especially liked the advice on finding a mentor, someone who has been where you want to go, someone to provide guidance, emotional support, and role modeling, someone to help explore careers, set goals, develop contacts, and find resources. Very good advice. Beautifully written."

-Amazon 5-Star Review

"Packed with quotes (including one from Claire Shipman!), interviews, and resources for girls interested in anything from entrepreneurship to science to art, this book is like having a big sister in your back pocket."

-The Confidence Code For Girls

“ÊTRE brilliantly does what no other organization or book does. It reaches middle school girls exactly where they are and helps them soar. Using fresh, engaging language, ÊTRE provides these girls with the tools to identify, preserve and foster their most authentic selves, the part that so often gets lost in the societal pressures of middle school. And then ÊTRE encourages them to become the best version of that authentic self. A must-read for every middle school girl and everyone who loves her."

-Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Woman in The Room, Carnegie’s Maid, and The Other Einstein

“Middle school girls are a growing and mighty force for change. ÊTRE lays down a great road map for girls to help discover themselves and the leaders they can become in their own lives, communities, companies, and countries.”

—Nell Merlino, original creator of Take Our Daughters to Work Day with the Ms. Foundation for Women, and founder of Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence, and Born Worthy

"Thrilled to be included in this great new book, 'Girls, Who Do You Want To Be?' It's a compilation of Être's articles, breaking down topics like financial confidence, philanthropy, mentorship & entrepreneurship, with quotes from women & girls across the U.S. Congrats, @Etregirls!"

- Phyllis Fagell, K-8 counselor, therapist, and author of Middle School Matters

"If only there were a book like this when I was in middle school! It's packed full of all the advice and guidance I wish I would've had as a young teen trying to navigate my way through the waters of junior high and figure out where all of my hard work could go afterwards..."

-Reviewed by Meika Hines

A Great Book

"What a great book for middle school girls. The book is interesting and filled with things these girls can use to help them be whatever they want to be. The resources provided in the book can be used immediately or later as a resource guide. If you have a girl at this age this book is a must for her to read."

-Reviewed by Fred Fanning

Inspiring for Girls of all Ages!

"An amazing, inspirational read and I think that all girls, in middle school and even high school, should look into reading this book! Loved reading the quotes from other girls and women, who all have a common idea: Be brave and strong! You can do anything you set your mind to. The book is truly an inspiration for young girls everywhere to reach for the stars, and beyond that. Hearing that there are other women and girls who are thinking about the same thing as you, and have similar goals to reach, inspires girls to have the confidence to work towards their dreams, and being able to navigate their way through difficult situations."

-Reviewed by Erin Taylor

Best gift for teen girls!

"As a working mom of teen girls, this book does such a amazing job of what I hope to teach my them -- dream big, live big and most importantly give back big. Plus its beautiful and so easy to read. Insta-gift to all your girls."

-Reviewed by Tracy

"I am so humbled and grateful to be included in this book specifically geared toward middle school and high school girls. @IllanaRaia meets girls where they are, and her book covers financial confidence, philanthropy, innovation and entrepreneurship. With input from women like me (who have lived a little) as well as girls who are currently on the road to discovering all they could be. This generation of girls will be our future global leaders and it is my privilege to add to the celebration and support of all girls."

-Debra Messing, actor and activist

"Etre's new book ÊTRE: GIRLS, WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE? became Amazon's #1 New Release in Self-Esteem for Teens & Young Adults...on the first day of pre-orders! I was honored to be among the luminaries quoted and listed in this book."

-Jayshree Seth, Corporate Scientist and Chief Science Advocate at 3M

"Breaking down big ideas like entrepreneurship, financial confidence, and mentorship for the younger set at an early and important age, this book springboards today’s girls to become tomorrow’s moguls!”

-Tiffany Pham, founder and CEO of Mogul and bestselling author of You Are a Mogul and Girl Mogul

"ÊTRE girls are the next generation of changemakers, leaders, and role models that our community needs. We’re proud to be building a world together where women’s power is embraced and celebrated.”

- Ellevate Network, a global community of professional women committed to helping each other succeed

"The book's design, both in content and cover, is ingenious. Être approaches it from the perspective of middle and high school girls, and dives into concepts like innovation, philanthropy, and financial confidence in an engaging, very positive way. The bold text, the variety of images, and the incorporation of quotes from different women and girls make this book fun to read and keeps you in high spirits."
