I picked this up on a whim. It's a very cute little board book about not forcing gender norms on children. Which I am all for. Kids will like what they like - dolls or trucks, sports or fashion - regardless of their genitalia. Thing is, it's a tough thing to start with babies, as the vast majority of names are inherently gendered. So while I would encourage parents to not shove their kids into pink or blue boxes, I also don't want to limit their naming options to Adrian or Morgan or Riley. In short: very cute book, very good ideas, and maybe I'm overthinking it. ( )
