Franny’s father knows that girls can do anything that boys can do. And he supports her in all of her endeavors. The straight forward text and shows the bond between a modern father and his daughter. It has a very modern tone. Franny’s Father is a Feminist by Rhonda Leet and Megan Walker show how a male can be a feminist, too. Not overly “preachy” it will not be for everyone.

The Pink Hat
Last year the Pink Hat Marches occurred. There were many ways of telling children about it. One of them was The Pink Hat by Andrew Joyner. The way he does it is by taking a pink hat made by a special lady, and this hat goes on an interesting journey before it ends up in a very special march. (And if you look closely you will see how that hat has come full circle). The fact the story is the journey of the hat and […]
Knowledge is power, but it is a terrible power when it is hoarded and hidden.

When the new human president is elected, they have the adventure of a life time trying […]

Some of his friends encourage his dream. Others think otters are better. Yet, Randal goes off to become an elephant. And even though his letters home seems to say he is having a great time, the pictures show the reader that this might be less than the truth. This is a modern […]

Twig follows her big sister Hazel all over the place. She is little so sometimes she is unable to keep up with Hazel, but she tries. And she does not know the difference between flowers and weeds (yet their mother loves both of their gifts). She has her big sister, Hazel, to teach her. When it is time for Twig’s first birthday, everyone (especially Hazel) is wondering what she will choose at her doljabi ceremony (a ceremony that will predict the future of that person). […]
