Be a Girl Champion is a compilation of stories about seven young girls who faced hardships in their lives but who came out stronger and wiser. Readers of this book will take away one thing: everything that happened to these girls has happened and continues to happen to millions of others just like them, not just in Asia but around the world. Author Chloe Reynaldo wrote these stories hoping readers will realize that these unfortunate circumstances are commonplace, and that they are happening all around us, even though they go unnoticed. Reynaldo wrote them simply, to impress upon people of all ages the daunting problems these very young girls face.
But these are also stories of hope—stories that show any step forward, no matter how small, can be a major improvement. One way or another, these girls strive to overcome their difficulties and to continuously grow as people. Reynaldo hopes that all will always be inspired to move past obstacles and look forward to the future—and always remember to support, bolster, and champion one another.
