One World Book Day my son went as Nancy from Swallows & Amazons.

He’s too old now to dress up and I won’t embarrass him with old photos but please, actively encourage boys to read books about girls.

“A little boy points to one of my books & exclaims ‘I want that one!’ His father pulls him away. ‘No, that’s a girl book’”

When we discourage boys from reading books about girls, what message do we send? washingtonpost.com/entertainment/…   2024

Excellent graphic by a former retailer (sadly now closed) illustrating the vicious circle of stereotyped marketing for boys & girls and its divisive impact. Our campaign formed over a decade ago to challenge this division in toy marketing…
