Editorial Reviews

In this cheeky board book sequel to Feminist Baby, Brantz introduces a male feminist infant with a scribble of dark hair who wears little more than diapers and sometimes a cape. Feminist Baby knows “it’s okay to cry” (demonstrated following a leap off the couch) and “is breaking down walls” (blue, pink, and purple Lego blocks go flying). Joined by three diaper-clad friends, Feminist Baby dances in the shining light of a disco ball, joins a “feminist book club,” and expresses himself by dressing as a dinosaur ballerina (“Feminist Baby is who he wants to be”). Brantz’s series is no less genuine for being tongue-in-cheek—as the child picks up the baby monitor as if to broadcast: “Feminism is for everyone—let’s start today!” Ages up to 2. (Apr.)

Praise for Feminist Baby:


"[...] Brantz does the important work of making feminism accessible with a keen understanding of what kids need to know about feminism in their young lives. [...] Feminist Baby is not just for babies. It's for all of us." —Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist

"Not that you should have a baby for the sole purposes of reading a book to him or her, but if I were to do that it would be because of Feminist Baby. [C]ute, inspiring, and a reminder that before society places boundaries on what girls are supposed to do and like, girls can be anything, including inspired."—Phoebe Robinson, New York Times bestselling author of You Can't Touch My Hair

"Feminist Baby is for girls, boys, moms and dads. If you want your little person to grow up to be a full and equal person, Feminist Baby is for you."—Rose McGowan, Activist/Director/Artist

"Forget sugar & spice—fun & fierce, that's what Feminist Baby is made of!"—Debbie Levy, award-winning author of I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark

"FINALLY! Feminism for the board-book set! Feminist Baby is cute, funny, right-on, and kind of almost makes me want to have another baby just so she can grow up reading it."—Kate Schatz, author of the New York Times bestsellers Rad American Women A-Z and Rad Women Worldwide

"Feminist Baby makes me want to get pregnant again immediately just so I have one more kid to share this wonderful book with. No child's bookshelf is complete without it."—Jessica Valenti, Guardian columnist & New York Times bestselling feminist author

"[J]ust the thing to encourage kids to be loud, proud, and uncowed."—Publishers Weekly

"The strong girl power message makes feminism and following your dreams accessible to toddlers. [...] A laugh-out-loud, smart, and much-needed addition to board book collections."—School Library Journal

Toddler-PreS–A new Feminist Baby learns social justice while teething, giggling, and dancing with his diapered friends. Brantz's rhyming text follows a brown-skinned boy as he plays with dolls, takes part in a feminist book club, and knows it's OK to cry. Bright illustrations and Feminist Baby's wide-eyed optimism make for an adorable addition to the series that dismantles toxic masculinity and reminds kids and adults that "feminism is for everyone."
