I really enjoyed Gina by Bernard Waber. It shows a story of a young girl, Gina, who just moved into a new neighborhood. There are no girls for Gina to play with so she seems to have nothing to do for the summer. One day the boys find out that Gina is really good at sports, and so all of them want her on each of their teams. Gina ends up having fun playing sports all summer, and has a bunch of new friends going into the new school year. I like how this book looks past "gender roles", it shows young children that you aren't/shouldn't be limited by your gender. I think its important for children to learn things like this early so that they aren't afraid to be themselves. ( )
