** Read about author Brianna K. Grant's recent school visit to Lewis & Clark Elementary School in Wenatchee, WA here.

Balanced Steps, LLC is proud to introduce:

We Are Girls Who Love to Run
(Somos Chicas y A Nosotras Nos Encanta Correr)

written by Brianna K. Grant
illustrated by Nicolas A. Wright
foreword by Molly Barker
(Founder & Vision Keeper of Girls on the Run International)

 A NEW Bilingual book for girls of ALL ages!

We Are Girls Who Love to Run uses running to inspire girls to build healthy habits and achieve goals. Vibrant watercolor illustrations celebrate real girls with different body styles who find satisfaction in daily life experiences. The characters display their inner strengths as they make simple healthy choices and interact with family and friends.

A sports book specifically designed for girls, We Are Girls Who Love to Run speaks to girls of all fitness levels, from the curious observer-turned-participant to the driven competitor. It celebrates the multiple elements of girlhood that connect to form the whole girl: family life, friendships, emotions, fitness, goal-setting, relaxation, and curiosity. It acknowledges girls' spirits and applauds their fortitude in believing in themselves.

"Far more than a standard picturebook, We Are Girls Who Love To Run encourages finding joy in life through exercise, and impresses the value of self-confidence rather than allowing oneself to become obsessed with unrealistic Hollywood ideals of beauty. The colorful illustrations, done in a soft yet realistic style, show young women from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds experiencing a shared joy in running. A wonderful and uplifting story; the final page has an assortment of true-life quotes from women young and old who love to run."
