Great Role Models!

The Handy Girls Can Fix It!: 2008 Edition The "Handy Girls" promote pure girl power! The book reveals how girls and boys can gain a sense of pride and accomplishment through active and creative play -- and shows the value of helping others through teamwork!

I'm the co-creator of Handy Girls!

I'm so glad to see that both of the "Handy Girls" books are still available. It's unbelievable that our $1.99 book is selling for over $50! We're hoping to get the books published online and will let all "Handy Girls" fans know the progress! Thank you so much for continuing to support this ahead-of-its-time concept for girls. We believe it's still as viable today as it was 20 years ago!

Great Alternative Roles for Girls Ages 8-12

The Handy Girls came out in the 70's, before the Babysitter'sClub books. This book involves a (multicultural) group of girls thatforms a club to fix things. Some paint, some build doghouses, andthey get satisfaction helping people by working with their hands. Drawings are a little dated, like textbooks drawings of the 60's and 70's, but the spirit is totally modern - it's great to see a children's book where the girls are self-directed and down-to-earth.
