Board Book Details
Feminist Baby by Loryn Brantz
Publication: April 11, 2017, recommended for ages 0 – 2
Synopsis
LOUD AND PROUD FEMINIST!
Meet the irrepressible Feminist Baby in this refreshing, clever board book about a girl who’s not afraid to do her own thing, and wants to make as much noise as possible along the way!
Feminist Baby likes pink and blue.
Sometimes she’ll throw up on you!
Feminist Baby chooses what to wear
and if you don’t like it she doesn’t care!



A bright, cheeky, and funny board book with a positive message for all babies, Loryn Brantz’s Feminist Baby is a board book winner. Blurbed by feminist writer and professor Roxane Gay, Feminist Baby broadly takes on feminism and wonderfully turns the concept into an affirmative board book that babies/kids and adults will like. In the last few years, there appears to be an increase in the number of concept board books (concepts beyond ABC and counting, etc.). For example, Ruth Spiro and Irene Chan have collaborated on a Baby Loves series featuring aerospace engineering, quarks, and more, giving STEM a place in early childhood literature. Other board books series such as Cozy Classics and BabyLit have taken on themes or concepts in classic literature and adjusted them to suit babies and toddlers. Loryn Brantz’s Feminist Baby now joins the oeuvre, and it is wonderful to see and read. While concepts- such as feminism- can be complex, and you might wonder, what can a baby get from this?…The answer is: an introduction to vocabulary! It’s all about learning and exploring, and having the pleasure and option to read something as encouraging and aware like Feminist Baby to a wee one is just fantastic.

Enter to win the Feminist Baby Prize Pack!
A copy of this title and prize pack was sent courtesy of Disney-Hyperion for the purposes of this post and giveaway. Disney-Hyperion is also providing a prize pack for one winner from my site. Review opinions and comments are my own.
I think Feminist Baby would listen to P!NK and early No Doubt…well, and really, whatever she wanted to!
I think Feminist baby would listen to any and all music. I think she’s not not one to be stuck in a box and listen to just one type of music. Instead I think she can dance and groove to and enjoy herself to everything.
Hmmm…I guess in theory Feminist Baby would enjoy a variety of musical styles, without being confined to a gender-specified genre. 😉
My guess would be Kpop since that’s what my daughter likes to listen to.
I’d say Taylor Swift! 🙂
I think that Feminist Baby would enjoy a variety of music genres.

I would say she would live all kinds of music song by strong women
I’m guessing some good ol rock n roll
I think Feminist Baby would listen to keith Urban and Carrie Underwood the Fighter..
I think Feminist Baby would listen to a variety of music. I think she would listen to music depending on how she’s feeling that day
