Photos of real girls help further drive home the reality of the inspirational message of the book, because seeing really is believing! Plus, as anyone with kids knows, children LOVE looking at photographs of other kids!Breaking Gender StereotypesStudies show that gender stereotypes are set in children as early as age 6, so it is crucial to reach both girls AND BOYS during the critical developmental ages of 3-8 years old while their expectation of gender roles are still forming. Exposing them to empowering portrayals of girls will help your kids grow to support, encourage, and demand equality.
