In this introduction to the basic principles of feminism, including kindness, fairness, and respect, young boys are encouraged to take responsibility for their words and actions. Rhyming verses and multihued illustrations show both girls and boys that toys, games, chores, and even grown-up jobs are not gender specific, and children and adults will learn that developing simple behaviors like helping with the dishes, expressing emotions, and understanding personal boundaries can have a big impact later on in life.
