Why read it?
1 author picked The Girl Who Speaks Bear as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Yanka is a strong character with a deep love of the forest. I could relate to how she felt a bit different and out of place in her village. It was inspiring to me how she faced all sorts of perils in the forest on her quest. She is brave and unique. When she returns from the forest, she finds her place in the village...as herself. This book reminds me we have unique gifts and characteristics we should be proud of and embrace, not hide away.
From Giulietta's list on girl-power and magic.
