A fun take on using the word "chick" (a word I really hate women being called) and instead, using chicks as the medium to convey a point. Yes, it's overt in its messaging of women ("chicks") being different and able to do anything. But it's cute. And a positive message to be reminded of. Women do come from all walks of life and that is to be celebrated! ( ) When Nerdy Chick arrives at the first meeting of the Rocket Club in this rhyming picture-book romp, only to discover that "chicks" are not allowed, she is hopping mad. Soon she has banded together with all the other chicks, of various professions and backgrounds, to protest their exclusion and to demand their rights. Collectively, these chicks are headed for the stars... As someone who has worked with children's books for a few decades now, someone who considers herself a feminist, I had to scratch my head a bit, reading Chicks Rule!. A clear picture-book homage to intersectionality - the text even reads, at one point: Chicks arrive from all directions / Nearing the same intersection / Though they've followed separate tracks / A common hurdle holds them back" - and to the recent Women's March movement here in the states, this book felt a little... tone deaf to me. There's nothing at all wrong with a positive, girls-can-do attitude, but something about the story idea of a science club explicitly excluding girls (AKA "chicks") in current day, struck me as unlikely. I can't count the number of girl power books that come through work every month, the number of programs I have read about to encourage girls in STEM. If there are social forces holding girls and women back in this area - and I don't argue that there aren't - they can't be laid at the door of prohibitions like the one Nerdy Chick faces here. Given that this is so, and that so many inducements and encouragements are being offered in this regard, and so many celebratory tomes published on the subject, it felt somehow dishonest to suggest otherwise, especially in a book aimed at young children. This is a cute little picture-book, with colorful artwork and a fun rhyming text, but it fell short for me. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Illustrations and simple, rhyming text follow chicks of all ilks as they work together to puzzle out how to respond to a sign forbidding chicks from attending the Rocket Club meeting. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
