Being seven means discovering that some of the hardest things are the ones nobody else can see.
Maybe it's raising your hand when you're afraid of being wrong. Maybe it's trying food you've never tasted, walking into a party where you don't know anyone, sleeping away from home, losing a race, or wearing something different from everyone else.
In 7-Year-Old Girls Can Do Hard Things!, Ella faces twenty everyday challenges that can feel very big when you're seven.
Through these short, relatable stories, Ella learns that courage doesn't mean never feeling scared. It means taking the next step while you're still nervous. She learns to speak up, try new things, ask for help, handle disappointment, apologize when she's wrong, and keep going when things don't work out perfectly.
The stories don't promise that every brave choice will have a happy ending. Sometimes Ella succeeds. Sometimes she loses. Sometimes things remain uncomfortable. Because real courage isn't about making sure everything turns out the way you want.
It's about discovering that you can face something difficult and still be okay.
Each story ends with two gentle Let's Think About It questions, giving girls and the adults who care about them an opportunity to talk about their own experiences. The questions are designed for conversation, not comprehension testing.
A warm collection of realistic stories for girls who are learning, little by little, that they can do hard things.
