Girl Power (Tools) Booklist!
GIRL POWER (TOOLS) BOOKLIST!
There is a link to download as a pdf at the bottom of this page.
Children’s books with positive messages about girls making and inventing, especially using tools.
This booklist especially for girls who like to make – book characters can be powerful role models – you can’t be what you don’t see. Of course it’s for boys too – they need to appreciate what girls can do as well as do themselves.
Let’s empower girls to have the ‘tools’ to shape their world
In no particular order – and these are all recommendations from generous folk on twitter! I haven’t read them all! If you’d like to suggest another book please do, or suggest I remove one! email me at studio@petemoorhouse.co.uk feel free to share and distribute…..
