My Feet Aren't Ugly: A Girl's Guide to Loving Herself from the Inside Out Paperback – September 9, 2011

I am the former CEO of a Children's Home for abused and neglected children. We took care of over four hundred children each and every day and dealt with all types of childhood issues. Self Esteem was one issue we regularly were presented with. MY FEET AREN'T UGLY is a wonderful and necessary book that addresses "self esteem" directly and simply....as in easy to understand. Debra Beck has written a powerful book with MY FEET AREN'T UGLY. So simple but with a complex message. As I read it I found myself thinking..."of course, why didn't I think of that". This book should be read by all adolescent children. Although the book is written more for young ladies it works well for young men too. A necessary and helpful read for parents also. An enjoyable presentation makes this book fun and important. Get it, read it enjoy it and live it.

Debra Beck does a great job teaching young girls how to love themselves. It is not that empty, shallow and selfish love but the true love based on confidence and hard work.This book talks about important topics that many books dealt with like drugs, sex and eating disorders, as well as, refreshing topics that I enjoyed having introduced to my daughter such as finishing projects, stress reduction and health maintenance and how they are related to confidence and self appreciation. Ms. Beck also provided short journals that help young girls search and understand themselves; well done!

Disclaimer, I live in Sedona & know the author, Debra Beck.I wanted to read this book as a friend of the author and as the Mother & step Mother of several now adult girls! I thought that this book really addresses the many issues facing teen girls & gives teen girls great information and tools to navigate through the difficult teen years, empowering them all the way.I was kind of blown away reading the book, as there were several sections that opened up my eyes & helped me learn about myself! A great read for any parents of teen girls & for Adult women to read for the 'teen girl within!" Great job Debra! Well done!

There are many examples in this book which would have helped me out immensly when I was young. In particular, not doing something when you are uncomfortable about it. Also, the fact that everyone is unique and we should celebrate our differences, not try to be like some else so they may like us. Kudos to Debra!

Easy to read, helped my daughter understand things I was having trouble conveying.

This book was purchased for use with a group of teenage girls. I have not yet done the group, but am excited about using this book. It is very easy to read with though provoking journal entries. I am very hopeful that it will be beneficial during my girls' group.

Book was in fine condition. The only issue we had was being billed too much for shipping. Amazon fixed the issue. We were happy with the resolution.

A nice guide for adolescenses who are strugling in this wonderfulbul confusing world. I have given this book to several of my students and they have enjoyed it and learned how to be better.

My 15 year old grandaughter found it helpful. She said it had questionnaires to complete which made her concentrate on issues in her life and make her feel more positive about herself when she was going through what grown ups think is a normal teenage angst period, and teenagers think is the end of everything. (and haven't we all been there!)It must have been written in a non patronising way and covered relevent issues, though I have not read it personally. So it did what it said on the cover. With extra love, compassion and tolerence and the help of the book and we are all very grateful. Would suggest it to any parent to give to a teenage girl as long as they made it clear they would not pry into how the quesionnaires were answered as it is SELF HELP.
