🩷 It’s More Than a Book Launch–It’s a Movement to Protect Girls!


Hello Reader,

Last week, close to 200 subscribers said yes to joining the launch team for Good Pictures Bad Pictures Guide for Girls: How I Stay Safe, Smart & Confident—and I’m so grateful.

Now let’s bump that up to 300–you can help me!

Why does that matter?

Because when hundreds of people purchase a book on launch day, Amazon takes notice. And that means this message can reach thousands more families, counselors, teachers, and leaders who want to help girls stay safe, smart, and confident.

I know girls need our help–here’s why.

🫣 A mom told me about her young daughter riding the school bus when another student pulled out a smartphone and showed pornography to her and a friend. Because she had been prepared with the CAN DO Plan, she turned away and protected her mind. Her friend kept looking.

That moment may have lasted only seconds—but it mattered.

That’s why this launch matters, too.

Girls need this kind of honest preparation. Pornography doesn’t just shock kids—it grooms them.

Research shows that girls who view pornography are at higher risk for earlier and riskier sexual behavior. And exploitation.

We can do better for our girls.

When you join the launch team, you’re becoming part of something bigger: a movement to help girls reject pornography, protect their minds, and grow up strong and confident.

Here’s how to help:

  1. ​Sign up for the launch team
  2. Purchase the book on March 24
  3. Leave an Amazon review as soon as you can

Together, we can launch more than a book.

We can launch a message that girls deserve protection, preparation, and confidence.

Will you join us? (Canadians can join as well!)

Give us your best email and we’ll add you to our list!

With gratitude,
Kristen

Hello Reader, For years, many have believed the age-old myth that girls aren’t really affected by pornography. But that’s simply not true. Girls are growing up in a world where porn and sexualized media distort body image, undermine self-worth, normalize harmful behaviors, and shape what they believe about relationships, intimacy, and even their own value. That’s why I wrote my brand-new read-aloud book for girls ages 7–12: Good Pictures Bad Pictures Guide for Girls: How I Stay Safe, Smart &...

Hello Reader, Our recent Defend Young Minds Parent Council believes that one of the most dangerous myths in parenting today is: My child probably hasn’t seen pornography. In fact, research shows that many well-meaning parents vastly underestimate what their children are exposed to online. Researchers call this the “naivete gap”—the gap between what parents believe and what kids actually experience. In one study done by the British Board of Film Classification, only 25% of parents believed...
