A Mighty Girl's 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

Hi, I’m Carolyn and I’m the co-founder of A Mighty Girl, along with my husband Aaron. After years of seeking out empowering and inspirational books for our four young nieces, we decided to create A Mighty Girl as a resource site to help others equally interested in supporting and celebrating girls. I’m very excited about the recent addition of toys to the site and have shared a few of my favorites from our collection of over 2,000 girl-empowering toys here.
