Hi Sayward, I didnt see this book in the comments – I think you’d really enjoy it and Waits too: Amazing Babes (http://www.amazingbabes-thebook.com/).

I grew up with at least a couple books that might fit this topic (forgive me if they’re not exact fits; I haven’t read them in quite some time): A Train for Jane (by Norma Klein), which is out of print, but I believe used versions are available through Amazon. William’s Doll (by Charlotte Zolotow), which is still in print, as far as I can see. What a fantastic post! I’ll make sure to get some of these for my 2-year-old niece.

How about Ramona? She holds her own, even as a 5 year old.

I like books about boys (and girls) who aren’t really “boyish” or “girlish”, just interesting people. My son loves pink, brings his Horsie everywhere with him (and he’s six), and loves trucks. He doesn’t give two figs about competition or playing baseball. He loves baking and making art.

I know I’m late but I just wanted to say YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!! I think it’s SO important for people to read books like this with their little boys… definitely equally important as with little girls. To me the most important and powerful thing about feminism is that it’s for EVERYONE. Rock on, mama!

You rock! It’s definitely equally, if not more, important to teach our boys about the importance of feminism and equality.

Thanks so much Katrina, I know this is your area of expertise. By the way, was it you who was asking me for the resources used in Waits’s preschool a few weeks back? I totally lost track of the comment before I was able to reply. Was that you??
