I Remember: When Girls Rule the World with Arwen Evans and Ashley Wheelock

I this I Remember interview, I'm speaking with the talented, lovely sister team of Arwen Evans and Ashley Wheelock, authors of the amazing children's book, We Toot . As I’m sure you’ve noticed, children’s books targeted to girls – all pinks, princesses and ponies – haven’t kept pace with the women’s movement or evolving gender expectations. That’s why these women wrote We Toot , a feminist fable about farting. Yep, We Toot is a fart-joke laden whodunit with a powerful message of body positivity, self-acceptance and female friendship. The short picture book features a diverse cast of quirky girls, inspired by our five girls and their friends. As you will hear in today's interview, Ashley's and Arwen's moments of connection, individually and as sisters, led them to a place where the creation of this book answered a purpose they held in the hearts - to help all little girls grow up proud of their amazing bodies and all that they can do. Kirkus reviewed We Toot and said, "Sure to provoke giggles, this delightful tale also helps girls to revel in their bodies." Check out We Toot's fun video trailer to get a feel for this book and its story, and then get the little girl in your life a copy at Amazon . 10% of all profits go to Girls, Inc. Pass the We Toot message along by posting a picture of your little girl holding We Toot or even better post her giving a video review on your IG and FB accounts so she can share what she thinks about tooting! Tag it with @wheelock.ashley @arwenhanna @sandiesonke @houseoftomorrowbooks and let's change the world one toot at a time.
