Introduced by Renée Watson, these stories stand as a testament to how strong girls are part of everyone’s cultural heritage.

Whether they're dismissing princes or saving them, each of these diverse heroines remains the center of her own legend.

The feminist folktales collected in Sea Girl upend any notion that women are doomed to be sentimental, meek, or submissive. In these classic tales, heroines unflinchingly wade monstrous rivers, escape ogres'' nests, and outsmart desperate sharks and hungry tigers. And while defending their families and villages, they always determine their own fate.

Newly illustrated, these classic tales remind us that girls everywhere have been the heroes of their own stories for centuries.
