As the mom of two girls, I am always on the lookout for great books that show my girls examples of amazing women in the past, present, and future. Here are a few of my favorites for young kids (both boys and girls) that emphasize girl power!
1. Little Feminist book set, 2. Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, part 1 and part 2, 3. Little People, Big Dreams series (like Rosa Parks and Coco Chanel), 4. She Persisted, 5. My First Book of Girl Power.
Thanks for posting Joy! I have two little nieces and love the idea of getting these for them. 🙂
Thanks Caitlin! I love having these on hand as bday gifts, too!

I got the Little Feminist books from a co-worer for my daughter when she was born and I love them! They are so fun! I’ve been eyeing the Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls-maybe when she is a tad older-but it doesn’t mean I can’t add it to her library now. I just started making another list so now it looks like I have a few more to add!
Thanks so much for sharing-always looking for sweet things for my little one.

Yes the Goodnight Stories is great for when they can read. Ruby can read those ones now!

Hey Joy,
Thank you so much for including Downtown Bookworks’ My First Book of Girl Power! I’ve been a long-time fan of your site and am thrilled to know you are a fan of one of the books I helped create!
Best,

MY daughter loves the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls….we read it almost every night for bed.
We went and picked up one of the Little People, Big Dreams books at the library after I saw this, the Audrey Hepburn one…. and THANK YOU! My little girl (20 months) keeps grabbing it over and over for us to read her, and I’ve already placed a hold on all the other titles my library has, plus a few of your other recommendations. I love being able to read to her about famous women who did something great!
Yay! So glad she loved!!!

I got “The Little Feminist” book set for my daughters and they really loved it. For last few days, they are always talking about these books.
Thanks for awesome recommendations.
