quick quick

I don't know if anyone actually reads this blog anymore, as I've posted once in the last 6 months, but I figured it was worth a shot.

I have a dilemma. My daughter is a girl (obviously). We like to read. She likes books with stories. Most of the books she likes (In the Night Kitchen is a fave) feature boys. When we find a book that has a girl in it, often the girl is sacrificing her own well being in order to please others, or doing some stereotypically fluffy, pink, girly activity rather than doing something fun and adventuresome and smart. Would someone please please please please please give us some good books to read with girls in them? Sometimes I change characters to girls, but it doesn't always work. Help. Tadpole is now 3. Nothing scary please. We have enough problems with nightmares around here.

And if you feel like it say hi.
