Never assume! It's my dad's favourite motto, and possibly mine, too. We make so many assumptions about the people and world around us, but if we stop, watch, and listen, we often find out that we were completely wrong, in the most wonderful, eye-opening ways. To wit: I've never been a fan of princess stories, even as a kid, but Kate Beaton's "The Princess and The Pony" (2015) subverts expectations again and again, and THAT is something I love! 🐎🐎🐎 A multiracial warrior princess little girl; a chubby, flatulent pony that seems to be utterly, adorably useless; battles; cosy sweaters; hilarity, and a subtle message about love not being based on perceived worth, and not assuming that we know it all ... This book has everything! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #theprincessandthepony #katebeaton #warriorprincess #girlsandponies #girlscandoanything #girlpower #booksforstronggirls #feministkids #feministkidsbooks #inclusivechildrensbooks #inclusivekids #inclusivekidsbooks #multiracialkids #multiracial #multiracialfamily #inclusioninaction #inclusivebooks #inclusionandrepresentation #diversebooksforkids #weneedinclusivebooks #bookstagrammer #igreads #booksaremylife #raisingkindhumans #kindnessiscool #readwithriver_discussions #kidlitillustration #illustrationforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kmwH_nAxw/?igshid=109n1agan2qt9

So I’m blatantly shilling for Kate Beaton’s ‘Princess and the Pony’. This illustration is an attempt to capture my 5-year-old daughter’s incredulous and overjoyed reaction at hearing the word ‘fart’ in one of her storybooks for the first time.

Fun for the whole family.

[thfrustration]

thank you so much! i used the directory as best i could but the font/colors are a bit hard for me to see so that is why i asked. thank you so much for all you do, many people enjoy your tumblr!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. The directory archiving/updating will be an on-going process and we’ll still be tweaking here and there. Thank you so much for your patience with us.

  The big thing for me is like, why is there a petite section and not a tall section at clothing stores? Much easier to take away fabric than to add it. DISCRIMINATION.

I love you guys & thank you so much <3 You're all so kind and it means so much to me.
