Feminist Baby (Feminist Baby, 4)
Description
From School Library Journal Baby-Toddler—Adapted from Brantz's viral comic, this charming board book will amuse budding feminists and their adults. The title character refuses to be limited by gender stereotypes. She loves pink and blue; she plays with dolls and cars. The rambunctious little one revels in her body, her love of music, and her absolute baby-ness. The rhyming text is singsong and makes for a great read-aloud. The large, expressive eyes; bold lines and font; and bright, cartoonish illustrations will delight the youngest of readers. The strong girl power message makes feminism and following your dreams accessible to toddlers. The final image, of Feminist Baby in Rosie the Riveter–inspired garb, will elicit chuckles and bring the message home. VERDICT A laugh-out-loud, smart, and much-needed addition to board book collections.—Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal Praise for Feminist Baby : "[...] Brantz does the important work of making feminism accessible with a keen understanding of what kids need to know about feminism in their young lives.

No child's bookshelf is complete without it."― Jessica Valenti, Guardian columnist & New York Times bestselling feminist author "[J]ust the thing to encourage kids to be loud, proud, and uncowed."― Publishers Weekly "The strong girl power message makes feminism and following your dreams accessible to toddlers.
