Polarn O. Pyret: gender neutral and mighty girls clothing
I noticed you don't have Polarn O. Pyret listed in your clothing section - at least, I can't find them! Check out polarnopyretusa.com. They have an entire section of gender neutral clothing, and their girls clothing has lots of fun pieces that allow for all kinds of tastes and mighty play times. They even have undies that don't feature licensed characters or a ton of pink! I think Po.P would be a great addition to your clothing collection. Here's a couple of examples:

Start a Petition, My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic
Hi,
Thank you so much for starting the Merida petition. It meant so much to so many people.Similar in vein to the situation with Merida, Hasbro studios is making a movie version of the MLP:FIM franchise- and in doing so is seriously and significantly undermining the character-building, non-sexualizing aspects of the characters.
I think you've done something deeply important with the Merida petition that is really making the whole of society (and people's relationship to large and powerful businesses) better.
Thank you so much for your time,

Stop Glitzing up Mulan
I love what you did for Merida and in support of strong role models for girls. Did you know that there is a similar petition effort for Mulan? Give it a read and maybe you will be inspired to help pass the word about another hero for girls who needs our help!

Thanks for making the world mightier!
I'm so happy you added Dolores Huerta: A Hero to Migrant Workers to your site. Dolores is a mighty teacher, leader, mom and hero. She is a great example of the impact we can make when we pay attention, care and act. Thank you for sharing her story with your readers, young heroes and heroes in the making! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support your work.

Be Who You Are
Be Who You Are is an amazing book about a young trans girl. I've read this book with my 5 1/2 year old, and she loves it. With such a lack of books for trans girls (and cis girls to learn about other types of girls!), this book is a must-have. http://www.jennifercarrbooks.com/

Fancy Nancy Series
Hi-
I recommend the Fancy Nancy Series to your website. nancy is independent and helps build vocabulary. She has many adventures and she may seem super girls but she loves astronomy, spelling, acting, her friends and family. There are many ways to be a girl and Nancy is an awesome example.
Sincerely ,

book recommendations for young kids
The book "One" by Katherine Otoshi and her follow up, "Zero", are two great books on bullying and being yourself that are perfect for young kids. They use stories with colors and numbers as the characters to teach how to stand up to bullies and love yourself just as you are.

Female Astronauts!
All Might Girls will be interested to know about the four female astronauts currently working for NASA. I think this topic would be a great feature on A Might Girl:

Fairies and Chicks...
My daughter and I randomly chose some books from the library today and we discovered another great girl favourite - "Tough Chicks" (Meng/Suber) - we also found "The Mud Fairy" (Young) on another trip and love that both give the message that girls can be whatever girl they want whether it's getting dirty with frogs or playing in swamps or doing anything that isn't "girly"! Couldn't find these on the extensive list of yours so I thought I'd suggest them!
LOVE your site!
Thanks!1 vote -
a mighty girl
I just wanted to let you know about an awesome mighty girl I saw over the weekend. I was at the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hill Climb this past weekend, August 17, 2013. The youngest cyclist, 11 year old Maria Goodwin, of Silver Lake, N.H. rode her bike 7 miles to the top of Mt. Washington, what an accomplishment, doing it in 2 hours and 13 minutes. Go Maria!

Miya's Hair Day
Great book, about a young African-American girl and her "hair wash day" rituals with her mother. In the story she insists on her hair being left alone to be "natural, curly, wild, and free! Just beautiful Miya! Yay, that's me!" The book ends with the words: You Are Beautiful Just As You Are (YABJAYA!)
Definitely a message worth sharing with the "girl" in us all!
