THE CONFIDENCE CODE FOR GIRLS Taking Risks, Messing Up, and Becoming Your Amazingly Imperfect, Totally Powerful Self

This empowerment book, which encourages girls to increase their self-confidence, is based on the authors' adult book on the same topic. Sandy Rustin, who also narrates the adult version, expertly gives personality to a text that could easily seem staid. Skilled in her craft, she creates a conversational yet educational tone while delivering tips to encourage self-confidence. Even pacing throughout the production makes it easier for young listeners to pay attention and engage with the information shared. Rustin's ability to adjust her timbre to the age of the speaker is apparent when she voices the real-life stories and scenarios. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2018]
