Children’s books have a significant place in children’s development, as they contribute to shape their identity, aspirations, and expectations of gender roles in families, and society. However, the majority of the books represent a world full of traditional, binary, and stereotypical gender roles (boys described as active and domineering, girls described as sweet and conforming, etc.).
What can librarians do to challenge male and female stereotypes, promote positive role models, and celebrate gender equality?
