My cousin Katie (although she was too young to realize she had done so) first introduced me to this book. I already knew and loved the "That Girl" Marlo, who strode down a city street in go-go boots; spun around in glee; and threw her hat in the air at the beginning of each episode. She embodied freedom, it seemed to me then . . . and now, as she re-introduces her book to a world still struggling to deal with all the different ways both girls and boys, men and women express themselves. Adding more contributors to her merry tribe of singers, writers, poets and comedians, Marlo Thomas' book is now bigger, better and perhaps even more relevant today. And wouldn't it be great if the first one who smiled really did win?! Good gifting.
