Feminist Baby: He’s a Feminist Too!
Loryn Brantz. Disney-Hyperion, $9.99 (22p) ISBN 978-1-368-02299-6
In this cheeky board book sequel to Feminist Baby, Brantz introduces a male feminist infant with a scribble of dark hair who wears little more than diapers and sometimes a cape. Feminist Baby knows “it’s okay to cry” (demonstrated following a leap off the couch) and “is breaking down walls” (blue, pink, and purple Lego blocks go flying). Joined by three diaper-clad friends, Feminist Baby dances in the shining light of a disco ball, joins a “feminist book club,” and expresses himself by dressing as a dinosaur ballerina (“Feminist Baby is who he wants to be”). Brantz’s series is no less genuine for being tongue-in-cheek—as the child picks up the baby monitor as if to broadcast: “Feminism is for everyone—let’s start today!” Ages up to 2. [em](Apr.)
