Children’s Books Featuring Little Girls with Big Voices
Let’s save the world with these literary role models!
Recently, I published Women and Silence — Vox: dystopian fiction, and the power of our voices, and it got me thinking about what I do to combat the silencing of women, in my personal/parenting life.
I do what I do when I’m faced with any huge cultural problem. I try to empower the next generation, and…
I READ CHILDREN’S BOOKS!
Yeah, I basically try to solve everything through carefully chosen children’s books. Okay, it’s not the only tactic I’ve got, but it’s a start.
And, by the way, these books aren’t just for daughters! All kids need to see kids of all genders in all kinds of situations doing all kinds of things and feeling all kinds of feelings!
Read diverse books with your kids!
