Historically, women have contributed to some of the greatest innovations in science, art, business, environments and cultures. Research shows in the early school years, girls are social butterflies and rank top of the class, but by middle school peer approval and physical appearances take priority over self-worth, skills and assertiveness.
One mom is determined to inspire a new generation of conscientious, emotionally fit and assertive girls with the launch of Go Luna Girl Go a confidence and kindness building app for kids three to eight and available on iTunes for $1.99. The app, compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, is the first in a series of influential stories with activities from the Beyond the Moon with Luna book series.
Go Luna Girl Go is an interactive story with bonus coloring activities celebrating women in various careers. Luna ponders the social risks and considers many paths before acknowledging she is capable, and worthy, of leaping beyond expectation to realize her dream.
Go Luna Girl Go is created by Stephanie Rach-Wilson, a mother of two daughters growing up in a world more embracing today of women in roles previously filled by men. “The paradigm is shifting as it pertains to opportunities but women need to champion each other so we enter into leadership roles more confident of ourselves and considerate of other women,” says Ms. Rach-Wilson.
A portion of proceeds supports the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States (www.turnersyndrome.org). TS is a broad-spectrum chromosomal abnormality affecting one in 2,000 females physically, mentally and emotionally.
