One World Book Day my son went as Nancy from Swallows & Amazons. #letbooksbebooks #WBD #WorldBookDay2024 #boysreadgirls He’s too old now to dress up and I won’t embarrass him with old photos but please, actively encourage boys to read books about girls.

“Nobody’s listening” Lots of talk about #boys recently. A lot of it is not new research, it’s just it keeps having to be repackaged as no one is hearing it. See thread from 2017 from Let Toys Be Toys on effect of #gendersterotypes on boys ⬇️⬇️⬇️
