When should you start talking with your kids about gender equality? Illustrator Loryn Brantz answers: right when they’re born. Her Instagram page “Feminist Baby,” which has amassed a cult following, turns complicated social issues into bite-sized comic strips, that will put a smile on your face.
And lately, her comic was published into a book, that’s aimed at young kids and their parents. “Feminist Baby is very much for babies,” Brantz told Parents Magazine. “It’s colorful and fun and certainly doesn’t explain all the nuances of feminism. That said, it’s one of the only books ever to try to introduce feminism to babies.”
“People don’t realize how important early reading is,” explains Brantz. “It’s in just the simple things throughout the book, like Feminist Baby saying ‘no’ to things and being proud of being smart is SO IMPORTANT for children to see.”
Check out some of her hilarious, and thought provoking work, below.
