My First Book of Feminism (for Boys)

I like how the author puts equality into simple terms. Easy concepts to understand and instill in boys from a young age.

This book has a lot of strengths and I was really excited to purchase it. However, I won't be able to read it to my kids because we are a blended family-- part biological/part adopted. The beginning of the book mentions to respect your mom -- the human who "made" you.If a second edition comes out with more inclusive language for families, I will be excited to purchase it.

Bought this for my nephew and it is such a cute book. It’s a great size, very durable, and the message is wonderful.

Love how it explains feminism but really just being respectful to woman / girls it in ways they can understand

This book introduces the concepts of feminism in a simple to understand way, reminding children that they should treat everyone fairly and equally. It reinforces the idea that boys can feel more than just happy or sad, that both boys and girls can grow up to do whatever jobs make them happy, to use words to win arguments, to be considerate and pick up after themselves, and to respect personal space.My VERY nit picky criticism is that I would tweak the wording just slightly to say that strength isn’t “just” about muscles (because fitness is still a worthy goal for all of us), and including a part in the no means no pages that says that everyone has a right to have their boundaries respected. I’m not going to remove any stars, though, because this book does a fantastic job of introducing concepts to young children that a lot of adults over complicate. I can tweak words for my kids and have discussions with them about the concepts, and the author can use these ideas when they (hopefully) write a follow up book for slightly older kids. :)

this book is genuinely so great and i know a lot of adult men that need to read it

First of all I would like to point out that all but maybe two of the 1 Star reviews for this are obviously from people who did not want, read or buy this book. Please keep your opinions of politics and feminism out of an honest review.Second of all, this book is great. Yes, slightly corny, as are all children’s books. But excellent. It teaches feminism, as in equality, not aggressive women’s rights. It teaches that boys can have all kinds of feelings, can be strong other than with muscles, can be friends with girls, can do chores, be respectful to women who are 50% of our world and PEOPLE and that they should not touch someone who says not to touch them.How anyone has negative feelings on this is beyond me. My two year old son thinks this book is great, especially the part about putting the seat down after peeing and having a cat poster.

LOVE this book! I am a mom of 2 young boys (2 and 4 years old) and I am always looking for ways to talk about the importance of boys and girls being equal, respecting people’s personal space, it being ok to play with any toys they want (even if they are thought to be “girl” toys), etc.This books hits the nail on the head! The book is written in a way that my 4 year old easily understands the language and concepts on each page, and also gives me the opportunity to delve deeper into a topic if he asks.This book is a great conversation starter for any mom or dad who wants to make sure their boys understand that boys and girls are equal and being a boy doesn’t mean you have to be tough, rough, or unemotional.

It has been an absolute delight to listen to my son read this book to his own boy. It is sensitively written to get across important messages, boys can play with whatever toys they want, you shouldn’t expect people to pick things after you. Almost more a book of manners than overtly feminist.

This isn't a smug or pushy book. Just a nice book teaching manners and respect as well as emotional literacy. Highly recommended - even for the family members who hate the "f word".

Great book. More appropriate for 4 yr olds and upwards

This is great! Don't let the Incels and Mysoginits who peddle toxic masculinity tell you otherwise!!

Lovely message in a simple form. One of the favourites in our house.
