If you think 7 years old might be too early to introduce children to the concepts of feminism, I got to say: silly rabbit, feminism is for everyone!

Today, the media is filled with subtext and coded messages that, while they may not be obvious, helps us frame our view of reality. With that in mind, wouldn’t you like that the books your kids read are full of the right kind of messages?

Messages that stir them towards developing empathy, compassion and a proper sense of right or wrong?

That just so happens to be what these feminist books for 7-year-olds would do for your kid. Check them out!
