Little Feminist Reviews

Want to know what kids think of this inclusive book subscription box? Check out our review that features the perspective of three young readers!

Little Feminist Book Club has a knack for finding obscure and diverse reads. I love the books they chose this month; both of them feature a lot of illustrations of the outdoors which Ronan is completely obsessed with. He never wants to be indoors anymore, so maybe these books will hold him over when it starts getting chilly out (wishful thinking). I love the way Glow reads like a poem, and the illustrations in Raven Squawk, Orca Squeak are beautiful. Both books retail for under $10, but they were excellent finds for fall reading.

After shipping, this subscription adds up to $25.90 a month; if you’re someone who doesn’t mind paying a price for an excellent curation and content, then this subscription may be worth it to you. The subscription holds a value that doesn’t monetarily meet its cost, but I appreciate what they’re doing.

This was our second Little Feminist Book Club installment and I am enjoying these books with an age-appropriate message. If I’m being honest, this one was just the tiniest bit awkward talking about a young girl’s mustache and body hair. Even my girl was giving me some weird looks at times. However, I guess some lessons are awkward or even difficult to talk about and those will be worthwhile. Overall, I appreciate the message of self-love and acceptance. I liked learning the Hindi words. If I could do one thing differently moving forward is reading the book before doing the drawing exercise. My daughter was distracted with drawing and not paying much attention to the story and its message as much as she should have been. Hopefully next time the exercise will be an incentive to listen.
