@SarahMillican75 Bought it. Reading it. Love it. Bought it for a friend too. We're having a reading race @SarahMillican75 Just snorted heartily at bit about remembering not to wipe glasses with spit if you've eaten an Aero! 😂 Proper Champion book Sarah! Bringing back memories of Dual Science 👍

At @ClimbingTreesTs we love trees (and encouraging children to get outdoors more and climb them #MyPassionForTrees #JudiDench - what an incredible programme from @BBCOne Thank you!

[Cheryl Rickman @writeruk]

I ADORE trees. Can you tell from my website https://t.co/urGst07cgD and front cover of @TheFlourishers my Flourish Handbook? https://t.co/BMZieGadxF I'm currently working on a chapter for my next book about eco-therapy #MyPassionforTrees #treehugger #lovetrees #ecotherapy #trees

We loved it. Incredible movie with females playing many of the lead and supporting roles. #badass #StarWarsTheLastJedi https://t.co/zYbUo1h818

[Gender Diary @GenderDiary]

9yr-old is very excited to see it. While watching The Force Awakens she noticed more women in it than the original Star Wars films and dubbed it 'The Feminist Awakens' https://t.co/AFHCpStUXw

With 'no-gender-December' round the corner @MumsnetBooks YES YOU CAN shows children that ALL toys, clothes & hobbies are for EVERYONE and encourages kids to be proud to be themselves: https://t.co/mEntzjKB3K #genderequality @Benfogle @ThisisDavina @Fearnecotton @hollywills

@sueperkins i.e. There is space for STEM and ARTS! Both are vital. Neither should be cut. Well-being/positive education also vital. We need to educate our children how to cope with life, how to create and make and engineer and invent. Thank you @sueperkins for flaggin up this important issue

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

@sueperkins Creativity is also vital for well-being (Gross National Happiness) @sueperkins Thanks for highlighting its importance in education. PS The 3 girls in my YES YOU CAN storybook love art, skateboarding, football, science, building dens and climbing trees :-) https://t.co/mEntzjKB3K

Yes to maths & computer science, but where is provision for kids who want an arts education? Creative industries contribute 90bn to GDP...

@GenderDiary We're crowdfunding this witty feminist picture book, about what would happen if women worried less, by @keano81. #feministgifts #feministxmas https://t.co/y8EE6KWfpq

[Gender Diary @GenderDiary]

Know any kickstarters that could be bought as #feminstgift ? Or do any charities have gift membership or similar?

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

@GenderDiary This looks great @GenderDiary. Also, new storybook, YES YOU CAN, shines a light on #genderstereotypes in a child-friendly way to show children that ALL toys/clothes/hobbies are for EVERYONE. https://t.co/ylXFEeZ8uF #feministgifts #feministxmas

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

@HadleyFreeman Thank you so much! Now published (phew) I'm keen to get the book into as many little humans' hands as possible, so they can learn about the importance of being themselves & making choices based on who they are and what they like, rather than what shops/adverts/society tells them.

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

@HadleyFreeman I also figured, if we can't stop tabloids/society telling kids what they should/shouldn't do/wear based on gender, perhaps I can shine a light on #genderstereotypes in a child-friendly way. So I wrote YES YOU CAN https://t.co/ylXFEeZ8uF to try to do just that. Thx again x

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

@HadleyFreeman You're welcome. The tabloid lame reporting has been driving me mad. I'm part of @letclothesbe who helped persuade @johnlewisretail to remove labels. I went on breakfast TV in Sept & faced Piers Morgan to try to explain what you say in your article. He mansplained/didn't listen!

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

@HadleyFreeman Thank you for writing probably the best piece on #genderstereotypes for a long time! @HadleyFreeman PS I've just published a children's book to show kids all toys/clothes/hobbies are for all of them, called YES YOU CAN https://t.co/ylXFEeZ8uF (successfully funded on @kickstarter)

[Climbing Trees @ClimbingTreesTs]

Probably the best piece on #genderstereotyping #genderequality written for a long time! Thank you @HadleyFreeman and congrats on your book too! https://t.co/2BoKNDNPQO
