About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
As a girl herself, the author understands how isolating feelings of love and pain of rejection can be for young girls. Friends seem much more interested in keeping track of "who loves who" and the identity of many crushes remain a secret. Family members either seem to adopt the "isn't that cute" stance or tease. But, these feelings are real and significantly shape lives, teaching a great deal about self, life dreams, and qualities needed in a lifetime mate. Crush and Other Love Poems for Girls is written simply and honestly exploring the good and bad of romantic relationships while providing an uplifting and wholesome message. Countless pre-teen and teen girls can benefit from this wholesome, uplifting book of love poetry; the first of its kind directed specifically to them. For more sample text, visit www.jodiet.com.
