Stop labelling children’s activity, sticker and story books as for girls or for boys


Stop labelling children’s activity, sticker and story books as for girls or for boys
The Issue
Titles like "The Beautiful Girls' Book of Colouring" or "Illustrated Classics for Boys" send the message that certain books are off-limits for girls or for boys, and promote limiting gender stereotypes.
How can a story or a colouring page be only for a girl or only for a boy? A good book should be open to anyone, and children should feel free to choose books that interest them. It's time to Let Books Be Books.
