5.0 out of 5 stars Encouraging children through different social encounters!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024
Sasha Smart is a wonderful book of short stories. Not only does this set of stories teach young children (I'd say elementary and even middle school aged kids!) how to deal with different types of social encounters they could (and most likely will!) face, it also encourages bravery, confidence, communication, and the power of kindness. Everyday, I'm that parent in the drop off line that lets my children out to "Love you, good luck on your tests, listen to your teachers, learn a lot, and BE KIND." Raising well rounded kids is hard and this book is great for helping with just that!! Our children need more books like this! I have a 9 year old and a 12 year old, I'm having them both read this book. Throughout this book you follow Sasha as she navigates through school. Each short story is about an issue she has and how she handles each problem. The first she worried about not being cool. The next she learns about making mistakes and correcting them. Then she learns about differences we have that make us all beautiful. She learns a lot from her friends, but she also has to deal with peer pressure and bullying as well. And lastly she learns about the importance relaxing, taking the time to unwind, supporting each other, and kindness. Another super cute and fun thing about this book is the content in the back!! An activity and even a challenge await your children! And the best thing about it?? They are having fun while learning!! I can't wait to read more from this author and have my girls read them as well!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Life Lessons
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024
I liked the premise of this book and I think it was well executed for the most part. I liked that the stories were short and to-the-point to keep the attention of the reader. I also felt that the "lessons" in the stories were very poignant and spot on for today's girls. The only thing that gives me pause is how much emphasis is put on Sasha being able to attain these attributes comes from her friends. While I completely understand the importance of friends and friendship (especially at this age) I think it is also important to stress that you also have your family (which is shown in the book) but also that these attributes can come from within as well and you don't always need (or will have) that outside influence there to positively push you. But overall, I would recommend this book and I like the message it sent and the illustrations were absolutely amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good lessons for girls
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024
Me and my daughter really enjoyed this book. Each story has a different lesson behind it. Bounce back was great, learning that it’s okay to make mistakes, but if you try again you will succeed. Beautiful Differences, Sasha learns that all her friends are from all over the world. How different cultures around the world are, different foods. But there’s always something from a country that links sasha and her friends together. Just relax, Percy tells Sasha that she just needs to take a break. We learn that it’s okay not to go into overdrive and just keep going with everything, it’s okay to take a break and just relax before going to do what needs to be done.
Each chapter was so beautifully written. Everyone needs to read this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sasha Smart is a great collection of short stories for young ladies
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
4.5 stars

Sasha is a great girl who, like many teen girls, is a little short on confidence. This book focuses on how Sasha can use her inner strength to become a better person. There are several short stories that cover everything from peer pressure, bullying, and accepting oneself.

What I loved about this book is that Sasha *is* a strong person. She loves science and she's really smart. She has great friends who really care for her. She's a caring person herself.

What I didn't like so much about this book is that it was written to look like Sasha could only get these important attributes that she was struggling with from her friends. While friends are VERY important, they are not the only way that she could have grown from these experiences. There was little interaction with family, and they can be the strongest influence. I would have liked to seen a stronger family bond written about in this book. There was some, but I feel like a story about her mom, dad, grandma/grandpa, aunt/uncle could have made this story much better.

This would be a great gift idea for a young teen girl. The stories are very short (3-4 pages each) and there are some pictures included.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024
This is a cute book of short stories for young girls. It promotes self confidence, self awareness, reminds them that open communication with parents is important, helps to foster positive lessons that sometimes are hard to understand, or even convey. The stories are written in a way that makes the lesson seem more relatable for young people. There are well illustrated pictures to accompany each story. I think these books would be a great addition to every home library where young ladies are growing up, as well as classrooms.

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024
This is such an uplifting book for young girls! It covers how to be a good friend, diversity and overcoming disappointment. The stories are short, so they can be read in short or longer intervals. Each story covers a different topic. It also has an education challenge for both the young readers, and their educators too! I also found the illustrations to be very pleasant visuals for the stories! Every young lady should have awesome resource available to them.
