The Houston Chronicle published my review of Jill S. Zimmerman Rutledge's book Picture Perfect: What You Need to Feel Better About Your Body in their Sunday Life section. Very cool.
I got word today that Amazon mistakenly recommended this book for girls 9-12. It is actually for teens as well as preteens. Or, as I stated in my review, “Instead of looking for external cues, Picture Perfect tells girls to look within themselves for approval. That's a special statement for all ages.”
I think the book struck me as being good for preteens due to my own appearance insecurities at that age. I remember them quite vividly. Several years ago, I watched my niece go through similar problems. I would never want to go through those horrible years again. I can’t even imagine what it’s like these days.
Thank goodness I’m old enough to drive.
