When I spotted this book, I knew it would be a lovely documentary of girlhood/womanhood around the world. And it was! It arrived in the mail today and I read the whole thing tonight. It gets 3 stars because that's my baseline for a good book. I mean, it's a coffee table book - it's not profound or life-changing or exquisite. It IS lovely, sometimes sad, sometimes funny. I feel connected to these girls around the world, through this common experience of growing up, living day to day, and dreaming.
Photojournalism by teen girls around the world and it is great! Read it! It’s great
What a cool view into the lives of young women and what 18 looks and feels like to them. I LOVE the different perspectives of young women around the globe with a small sneak peek at their daily lives with family and friends.
I wanted more, but only bc I loved it. A book of photographs and interviews with 18 year old girls around the world. Beautiful.
This is a beautiful book that is about girls from around the world who are 18 years old or are just about to turn 18. All the photographs are also taken by young women who live near the featured teens. The teens were interviewed, being asked questions such as: where do you see yourself in 5 years, who do you go to for advice, what's something you'd like to learn, etc. Full color photos throughout that are candid and evocative. The photographer also gets a page about themselves with two text boxes - one for a little known fact about themselves and one for what they do when they are not taking pictures.
While probably meant for a high school audience, the sparse text and colorful pictures make the appeal of this book much broader, appropriate for grades 6-12 at the minimum. I could see many ways to incorporate this into classroom projects. In the back, there is also an ask for older people to add their pictures of themselves at 18 and words of advice for themselves at age 18. Highly recommend as a way to get to know people and cultures from around the world, similarities and differences.
