The Ordinary Princess This book is one of the beloved relics of my childhood. I love the story because it is the princess' ordinariness that makes her so extraordinary. While all of her sisters are the protypcial princess, Amy, the seventh princess, is gifted with ordinariness by her fairy godmother. The story is enriching because it teaches young women to value themselves just for themselves.
The Princess Knight Some of us were raised to be like the boys. We know how to fight like a man. Here is a cautionary tale for the fathers who raised us so. Don't expect us to forget all that and ride happily off with a man in a tin suit.
Knuffle Bunny Fathers occassionally underestimate the importance of various possessions or talents to their daughters and sad mishaps of the sort dramatized here take place. Learning to listen when it's only Knuffle Bunny at stake can save all sorts of trouble later.
Harriet the Spy (book)
Harriet the Spy (movie) This is an Ur text. If you want to discover what happens when you try to deprive a gifted young girl of her outlet, this is your book. Not only does Harriet fall apart she takes her world with her. Never underestimate the power of a girl.
The Quest for Camelot This undervalued gem exhalts a balanced relationship between the sexes. A young girl with dreams of knighthood dancing in her eyes finds the true fulfillment of her childhood dreams in partnership with a blind knight. The story is a little overambitious tackling environmental causes as well as gender equity, but still a very worthy tale on an undeveloped topic.
Dreamer My father introduced me to this movie. Though the part was originally written for a boy, the change of gender enriches the story. The power of a young girl's faith to carry her father's dreams is inspiring, and Dakota leaves us certain that she'll also be able to reach for her own. This is a powerful story brought to life by a powerful actress. A warm family feature that gives girls a real boost without dishonoring the contributions of fathers.
