When our daughter was born, I began looking for books with a female at the center since all of ours were about cars, trucks, and balls. I had one rule: No Princesses! Here are my top 4 empowering books for little girls:
She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton
This book highlights 13 women who changed the world. I honestly have learned a lot myself from reading this to Elodie!
Tough Chicks by Cece Meng
This book is about three chicks who are rough and tumble. The other animals on the farm continue to tell Mother Hen to make her chicks be quiet and to stop playing in the mud. However, Mother Hen empowers her chicks to be themselves which ends up saving the farm.
The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires
This fun book follows a little girl's journey of building her own invention alongside her cute pup. It doesn't work out at first, but she continues to fiddle, hammer, and persist. Her completed invention turns out to be functional for both her and the pup.
Be Brave Little One by Marianne Richmond
This book spells out all the different ways a kid can be brave. Sometimes, brave means saying "hello" to a new friend or to mess up before you retry.
