other girls. While they are busy
having tea parties, she's out getting
muddy and playing with the boys.
After all, girls can do everything
boys can . . . can't they? Phillipa
thinks so until she's told otherwise
and realizes what she must do.
Phil's determination kicks off a
life of fighting for what's right for
everyone. A powerful tale of being
bold, brave, and true to yourself,
"Fearless Phil" is one girl whose
legacy lives on in all of us!
