Thank you for your thoughtful email regarding how gender is portrayed in The Girl’s and Boy’s Books. As you note, these books are very popular with young people who are taken with the illustrated nostalgic style. That being said, I don’t think anyone wants to return to a time when girls were not encouraged to participate in sports and boys were not free to explore their creative or artistic potential!
I have forwarded your comments to our editors for their consideration. We want to thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. I know you will find many books in our catalogs through which your children can learn about interests and talents that transcend gender and allow them to reach their full potential.
Woo to the hoo.

A kind from the 1950s, I missed everything.
Yay--I found you through Doxie!
Hi there! I've been a bit quiet for a while here. Hoping to remedy that in the near future. Thanks for finding me!
Stumbled upon this somehow... this is awesome!
