Candid Conversations with Connie, Volume 1: A Girl's Guide to Growing Up (Adventures in Odyssey Books)

Welcome to Candid Conversations with Connie! And these conversations are going to be very candid. In this book we’re only taking questions from girls! Yep, they can ask whatever they want, and I will answer from my vast knowledge and experience. (Well . . . maybe not vast.) If I don’t know the answer, I’ll ask my friend Penny. We’ve been where you are, and we know what it’s like.

You’re not a little girl anymore, but you’re still years off from adulthood. You still like to play, but you also enjoy having long conversations with friends. You sometimes want to cuddle on your mom’s lap, and other times you wish she would just leave you alone. All that’s pretty normal, and you’ll see that from the questions we’re answering.

“You are God’s poem. You reflect God’s heart in a way no one else does.” ―Connie

Did you know that you’re not a can opener? That’s only one of the life lessons you’ll learn Connie Kendall–style in this new resource for tween girls. Candid Conversations with Connie provides practical advice along with biblical truths to sweeten your growing-up years. Join a slumber party with Connie and her friends as they discover answers to tough questions about God, self-worth, clothes, parents, and more!

• How can I make friends?
• Does it matter how I dress?
• Why do my parents make me mad?
• Does God really care about me?

Known for making a great Whit’s End Wod-Fam-Choc-Sod and never being afraid to tell you what she’s thinking, Connie will share her growing-up experiences with you in a fun, honest way!
