Title IX in Our New Kidlit Book: More Reviews

 

The focus on Title IX in our new kidlit book continues to draw lots of commentary.

To be honest, we didn’t expect the comments we’ve received.

Our goal was to provide three characters who are “girl-power” characters, but in different ways.

The most militant character, Paula, is the focus of much of the discussion.

Everyone likes the character of Ally, the mayor-dancer-librarian who is based on Michael’s real-life sister. “Ally is the saving grace,” wrote one reviewer on Goodreads.

“Great female characters in this book, including mayor-librarian-dancer Ally, whose smarts, talents, and kindness make her a great role model,” said another reviewer, on Amazon.

Ten-year-old Amanda, who reviews with her mom, Tina Morley, said, “I think it’s cool that Ally is everywhere. Whenever you need her, she’s there. I like that the grandma is a coach and teaches the best girl team.”
