The Girl Who Dared to Dream is an inspiring story and activity book for 10-year-old girls approaching the threshold of adolescence.
The book strengthens self-esteem, courage, and confidence in one’s own dreams at a time when insecurity and comparison often increase. It offers a relatable role model and practical ways to think more kindly about oneself—and to trust one’s own path.
The story is based on Viivi’s real-life journey: an ordinary girl who dared to dream and move purposefully toward her goals. Sailing is part of Viivi’s story, but it is simply her personal choice. The message of the book is universal.
Each spread combines Viivi’s story with simple, thoughtful activities that invite the reader to pause and reflect. The activities help girls recognize their strengths, express their feelings, and explore their own dreams—either independently or together with an adult.
The book is suitable for every 10-year-old girl, regardless of her interests or hobbies. It doesn’t point readers toward one specific path; instead, it encourages each girl to discover what feels meaningful to her and to trust her own interests.
