NEW!!Girls Will Be Boys

"I love that line: For every girl who tosses out her Easy-Bake oven, there is a boy who wishes to find one. I weep every time I read that. Because just as our definition of what girlhood is so stifling, the definition of what it is to be a boy or man is arid and abusive. It's the most extraordinary curtailing of personhood."

--Ashley Judd, about a line from Girls Will Be Boys Will Be Girls Will Be...

 

"A perfect alternative to gender-saturated Disney fare."

--Bitch Magazine

 

"A great inexpensive gift for kids age 5 to 95."

--Curve Magazine

 

"Each page is original enough to give even the most seasoned gender bender a good laugh. The jokes are fresh and the art is clever."

--Clamor Magazine

 

"If I had had this coloring book when I was little I think things would have been a little easier for me, and when you're little a little easier is a lot."

--Lynda Barry

 

"Coloring books never go out of fashion--especially when they smash
gender-role stereotypes. And who could resist Girls Will Be Boys Will Be Girls Will Be...
?
Great for coloring but also a great book to read aloud to early grades to start discussions.
It features girls who decide for themselves what girls can be, grandfathers knitting, dads cleaning, aunts fixing tractors,
moms who don't do dishes anymore, and bits of strategic advice.I especially liked that it features kids who change their own worlds,
rather than depending on adults to get around to it. 44 pages with a few stories, real-life experiences, and questions to think about."
-- Books to Watch Out For, San Francisco
