The Invisible Stone: A Letter to a Powerful Girl by Carola Schmidt

 

“Hey Girl!

You are smart and bold.

You can do great things and go places

You can go so far and achieve so much.”

 

When a book starts with such bold, powerful reaffirming lines, you definitely know it’s a DIAMOND.

The Invisible Stone: A Letter to a Powerful Girl, written by Carola Schmidt and beautifully illustrated by Dian Ovieta, is a heartfelt book for little girls to pursue their dreams through the tough road ahead, called life.

Life, in all its glory, often throws us stumbling blocks at every turn.  They can be situations we can see coming, or sometimes they just blindside us. Mostly—if not always—the causality of such a stumbling block is our dream.

When we hit a block, we stumble, fall, and tend to lose belief in ourselves, setting our dreams aside. We give up on ourselves. Most of us then completely abandon our dreams, never even trying to achieve them.

In The Invisible Stone, Carola Schmidt inspiringly and encouragingly guides the reader to never give up on the path to achieving their dreams. We might stumble, we might fall, but we need to rise again and carry on.  The stones might show up as “doubt, fear and hesitation” but we need to overcome them by always believing in ourselves. It is this belief in ourselves that helps us overcome any and all obstacles.

Carola’s soothing words really hit home in her reminder of what we must remember to do when our confidence wobbles just before achieving something big:

“An invisible stone is never in front of you. It’s under you. You are already on top of it. Keep going. Celebrate every win.”

To say this book is a gem is an understatement. It is one of those pure gems that everyone should read—a book about how to dream and achieve those dreams by believing in ourselves. Each page leaps out with Dian Ovieta’s ethereal images—sheer poetry in motion.

If all of us believe in the three lines that Carola guides us to remember, we—and the world around us—would be super-duper happy.

“You’re smart.

You’re bold.

You’re ready.”
