Celebrating Reading Month with “Amazing Girl” by Dr Kat Lewitzke
Last month, in celebration of March Reading Month, Dr. Katherine Lewitzke had the special honor of visiting her daughter’s preschool classroom to read a book that is especially close to her heart—Amazing Girl.
This wasn’t just any book reading. Amazing Girl is a story written by Dr. Lewitzke herself, inspired by none other than her own daughter, Vera. With bright illustrations, uplifting affirmations, and a message that celebrates strength, kindness, creativity, and courage in girls, Amazing Girl encourages young readers to dream big and believe in themselves.
In today’s world, where children are constantly bombarded with messages about who they should be, Amazing Girl offers something different—something essential. It is a tool for uplifting self-esteem and helping girls recognize the beauty of who they already are. It reminds them that they are capable, courageous, and deeply valued. Books like this play a powerful role in early development, shaping positive self-talk and a healthy sense of identity.
During the visit, Dr. Lewitzke read to a circle of curious and smiling preschoolers, including her beaming daughter seated proudly at the front of the group. The moment was beautifully captured in the photo below—a mother sharing a story she wrote with her daughter, inspired by her daughter, surrounded by future amazing girls.
Amazing Girl is more than just a book. It includes a special section for parents, offering guidance on using positive affirmations and fostering open communication. With simple prompts and conversation starters, parents can help build emotional intelligence and create deeper, more meaningful connections with their children.
You can find Amazing Girl on Amazon, along with Dr. Lewitzke’s companion book Amazing Boy, inspired by her son. Both books are part of her mission as a psychologist and mom to celebrate children’s unique qualities and support families in their parenting journey.
Here’s to raising amazing kids—one story at a time.
