Creating a Role-Model Teen to Help Young Girls
New children's book helps preteens see the importance of positivity and responsibility
Strasburg, Pa. – Unfortunately, in this day and age when people hear the term teenage girls they immediately jump to negative stereotypes like those portrayed in "Mean Girls."
Sandra Addis was a teacher for 33 years and saw many young women grow strong, smart and cooperative as they moved on to do wonderful things. Her new book, "3 Sprites and a Bed," aims to help inspire pre-teen girls by providing them with a positive role model in main character Emily.
Emily discovers three magical sprites living in a bed she finds in an antique store. They plead for her help in saving them, but the only way she can is by buying the bed. This leads to a host of adventures for Emily providing her with life lessons and a greater sense of responsibility. Emily must find a job, overcome unpredictable obstacles like breaking her arm, study for finals and maintain a positive relationship with her parents.
"I want young girls to see a powerful character who has a positive attitude, is cooperative, takes challenges head-on and always wants to be helpful," Addis said.
Mixing the whimsy of children's fantasy with real-world lessons prepping young women for their transition into adulthood, "3 Sprites and a Bed" aim to inspire strength, intelligence and a desire to help others.
