The Girl In The Helmet

Children’s Book
2022
This picture book tells the story of a girl who learns to be brave, inspired by the message: “Teach girls bravery, not perfection.” As the speech points out, society often teaches girls to avoid risks and failure, while encouraging boys to be bold and adventurous.

In today’s world, girls are often seen as vulnerable and in need of constant protection. While this may ensure their safety, it also makes them overly cautious. For a truly developed society, girls should be encouraged to be brave, chase their dreams, and help create a better world—for themselves and for everyone.
