Granted I grew up listening to the record but apparently there is a book that goes along with it. Here is the music: <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00JRBG8Z4" rel="nofollow">http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00JRBG8Z4</a> (looks like if you are an Amazon Prime member you can download the mp3 for free) and here is the book: <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/dp/0762430605" rel="nofollow">http://smile.amazon.com/dp/0762430605</a>. It's all music and stories about gender equality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133257 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 09:05:18 +0000 LaughLines 2133257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is a kids book about Malala, the young girl who was shot by the Taliban for promoting women's education and she ended up winning the Nobel peace prize. I ordered it on Friday but haven't gotten it yet so I haven't read it myself but I'm sure it discusses empowering women, equal rights, etc</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1630833169" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1630833169</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133202 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 06:11:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 2133202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I follow their facebook page.

I'm sure I refer to the group as the boys. I'll watch out for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133151 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 23:40:14 +0000 jedeve 2133151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had any direct experience, but I do catch myself (because I have boys) saying stuff like, "oh boys love to get messy!" when. I really just mean "kids love to get messy!" Have you noticed if you call them "the boys?" Maybe just saying "kids" would help her feel more included? I'm just spitballing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133149 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 23:32:53 +0000 Corduroy 2133149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the recommendations!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133118 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 22:24:19 +0000 cmomma17 2133118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: look up the website "A Mighty Girl" - tons of girl empowering resources! Books, movies, toys! You will love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133106 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 22:08:18 +0000 sarac 2133106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely have to deal with that kind of bullshit, but if my child says 'XX told me that girls can't do Y', I just say, oh, well, they're wrong. Girls can do anything. Thankfully she's still at the age where she believes me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133057 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 21:02:41 +0000 mrsrain 2133057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Came across this one, "Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do" and it actually has a female mail carrier in it! Haven't read the book, but it looks cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133052 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:58:41 +0000 brownie 2133052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doc mcstuffins is awesome. Not only is dr a toy doctor but her mom is a people doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133037 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:49:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2133037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who says women can't be doctors? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133036 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:49:19 +0000 MamaBehr 2133036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say the same thing as @Mrs. Tiger! I would also recommend "The Paper bag Princess," but that is more girls don't need to be saved vs girls can do anything. "He Bear, She Bear" is a good one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133035 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:44:53 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2133035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rosie revere, engineer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-toddler-feministgender-equality-book-recommendations#post-2133025 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:27:12 +0000 Corduroy 2133025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family is very fortunate to live on a block with lots of very active kids. I think it's great for my 2 year old. The only thing is there are 8 boys and only one other girl (and she rarely plays out front). </p> <p>LO tells me all about the things boys do. Since she's the youngest by two years the boys often tell her she can't do things until she's a big boy. I point out to her and the boys that big girls can do things too. </p> <p>Today LO told me only boys (men) can deliver mail. I actually argued with my 2 year old. Face palm. </p> <p>I'd like to read her a book with a girl/woman can do whatever a boy/man can do. Any suggestions? </p>
