We have had enough of books that make girls think that they are too young, too old, too fat, too ugly, too tough, too loud, too independent. We like books that ask girls to take pride in themselves. Those of us who have been raised as or identify as girls have have often been given the idea that there is something wrong, weak and limited about being a girl or woman. This is not and never has been true.

Girls are not chicks. Girls are thinkers, creators, fighters, healers and superheroes. When a girls voice is fostered to its brimming potential, the sound that is heard is not a peep, not a chirp, nothing akin to the tiny soft sound of a fuzzy baby chick. The encouraged voice of a girl is resounding, glowing with perfect protest and intellect, and contains as much as is possible.

for boys Who says girls

shoes.

to try out those
new comfortable shoes
that everyone
was so busy
talking about. They commandeered the bus
and started their own school
which had lots of drums and
co-ed ice hockey. When she stopped chasing
the dangling carrot
of conventional femininity,
she was finally able
to savor being a woman. We pledge allegianceto all-girl bands, pro choice rallies,
