Now that Londyn is 1, I’m seeing her learn so many things so fast! It’s crazy how smart these little kids are, they pick up on everything. I’ve started thinking about intentional parenting and some things that I want my girls to learn while they’re little. The first thing I thought of were kids books! There aren’t tons of positive female role models in the world my girls are growing up in, and that makes me so sad. I did some research and found 15 of the best kids books that teach these young girls how strong, courageous, and powerful they are. They’re filled with girls and women of different cultures, races, interests, and achievements and all of those things are celebrated. Our girls need this empowerment!
