Every family with a little girl should buy this book. If you are a feminist or believe in feminism, you should buy this book for a little girl you know. Girls are constantly being held to double standards. Either you are too skinny, or you eat too much. You should be quiet and meek, but you should also speak your mind. And normally happens when a child is found wanting, they apologize. This books tells little girls to not only be themselves, but they do not have to apologize for being themselves. There is no need to say sorry because someone else thinks you're too opinionated, or don’t wear enough dresses. If you want to play in the mud with the boys, go for it. I love the message in this book, and we do not as a society teach it enough!
