Book Dads–”This is a valuable book for parents of both boys and girls. I strongly encourage dads to pick this up and read it. Too often, dads are not involved in the conversation about gender, stereotypes and sexualization. I don’t think we can continue to ignore the powerful influence our pop culture has on kids, and especially its negative influence on how children understand and view gender.”
Marketing, Media and Childhood– “Crystal Smith, a passionate and smart parent, lays it on the line, and shows us just exactly how…media producers are harming our boys.”
