As moms it's important to nurture our children and teach them the important things.  Saying please and thank you, being respectful towards others, and doing the right thing.  Because we're runningmoms we also teach by example and show our kids that being active and fueling our bodies with healthy food is important too.

Anyone who has had experience with an inquisitive child can tell you that they always ask the tough questions like "Why are you going running"?  The book We Are Girls Who Love To Run answers that question but not only for the kids, for us moms too.

This wonderful children's book by author Brianna Grant highlights the wonderful message of running as a method to instill confidence, bring joy into everyday life, and lift the spirit of girls of all ages. Not only that, it does it in two languages: English and Spanish-- in one book! 

The beautiful artwork illustrates the mantras that run through the minds of girls young and old.  As I set out on my next run, the words in this book will be turned over and over again in my mind.

"I am strong."

"I take care of my body."

"I am a good friend."

"I am beautiful."

"I am a girl who loves to run."

For girls everywhere, this book teaches important messages about inner beauty, strength, and confidence.
