I had the pleasure of viewing An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars. WOW! I watched this with my 7 year old daughter. We both loved it. The story line is amazingly encouraging to young ladies. It is a heartwarming original story about a young girl whose dream it is to compete as a world class gymnast. That dream is in jeopardy when she begins to have trouble in school.
With the Summer Olympics fast approaching, a lot of young girls will be struck with ‘gymnastics fever’. This is a very timely movie. Take a look at this clip about Balancing. You will see what I mean about being encouraging to young ladies.
The official release date of the movie is today July 3, 2012. So, look for it in a Wal-Mart near you.

As a teacher, I always appreciate books, movies, and other products which teach great themes/information to children. I look forward to seeing this myself, sharing with students, and maybe win & share it with my youngest nieces!
