My First Book of Feminism (for Boys)

by Julie Merberg and illustrated by Michéle Brummer Everett

Simple illustrations paired with meaningful aphorisms make the compelling, age-appropriate argument that women are strong and smart and deserve respect. Humorous, familiar scenarios are treated as teachable moments for little boys, who will ideally grow up without ever questioning women’s equality. From “no means no,” to “women’s rights are human rights,” important, grown-up ideas are simplified for young, impressionable minds. This is the book every parent should read to his or her son!
