Confidence is your fuel. It turns your thoughts into action; your dreams into reality. The best way to understand confidence and learn how to harness its secret powers is to see it in action for yourself. So take a look at these thirty stories of real girls.
The Confidence Code for Girls spent twenty-eight weeks on the New York Times bestseller list! Clearly, the tenants of the confidence code (risk more, think less, and be yourself!) are resonating with women and girls across the country.
Journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman want to continue inspiring girls to become their most confident selves with Living the Confidence Code, a middle grade biography collection starring today's brightest, most determined girls around the world, who have used their confidence to successfully make their dreams come true.
Written in Katty and Claire's relatable, accessible style, this paper-over-board book will include profiles of 25–30 girls, along with in-depth interviews and graphic novel panels. Below is a list of the current confirmed participants for the book. The authors are aiming to include two-thirds girls who have achieved spectacular things on a large scale or in the public eye and one-third girls who have overcome personal obstacles or made a difference in a more relatable, everyday way.
