Fearless, wild, confident, kind, independent—a photographic celebration of girls ages 5 to 18 being their authentic selves. Photographer Kate T. Parker captures girls in all their creative, fierce, loud, silly glory. Adapted from the book of the same name, the Strong Is the New Pretty 2019 calendar is a perfect present for daughters, nieces, sisters, coaches, mentors, teachers, & friends—what's better than enriching young minds with the gift of confidence? Each month features a girl who embodies the beauty in being resilient, brave, & hardworking—from dancers to fencers, from musicians to gardeners, from student body presidents to soccer players. Each masterfully shot photo (in both colour & black & white) is paired with an inspiring"e from the subjects themselves. Like Tayla, age 6, a backyard adventurer: “ Yeah, I am a little muddy. So what?” & Carlie, age 12, a football player: “ If you're strong on the inside, it means nobody can break you down.”
