My newest reading list is out! I was a little surprised to see how many of you had requested this list, but as I researched and compiled, I began to realize how important it is. Societal gender norms are present at the earliest stages of our lives, and they are instilled in us from the start. Little girls and boys are taught that boys don't cry and girls like pink and princesses. Ideas like this are present everywhere in picture books and other children's literature. It is critical to actively avoid this in order to raise children in a way where the books they read are not contradicting the ideas you teach them. When they learn to read, the content that they consume should teach them the same lessons that you are! I hope this list is a good starting place for all of you who requested it! Happy reading.
