Let Books Be Books

We support and campaign for books without gender boundaries and stereotypes. And me: I write children's picture books with gender-free characters.

Can we discuss sexism with our kids? of course we can and should: http://t.co/bEF4ySOdYF

Lovely post, but a 13yo girl seeing motherhood only in domestic terms in 2018 - we have much to do. #mothersday

Bought this awesome double-sided book for my daughter. I'm sorry that it has to exist, but it's brilliantly done and has already opened up a few unexpected conversations. Recommended for all! @letbooksbebooks @lettoysbetoys

Spotted a book about colourful cars in which the ONLY female car was pink and pretty & never revs her engine @lettoysbetoys @letbooksbebooks

So glad girls can learn geography now. Shame no fluff/glitter to help learning but can't have it all. #lettoysbetoys https://t.co/ma2uh0fanv

@LetBooksBeBooks apparently boys don't like dogs and cats and aren't caring? My 8yr old son missed the memo...expected better from @BDCH
