We have to meet young readers where they are, and while that has changed a bit, I still feel this cover could have been more successful.

Also, about the book sounding girly, I have a million opinions and will take a chance to voice them—in an ideal world, kids of all gender identities wouldn't care what they're reading about (and we can and should try to get them to feel that way!), but we also can't erase an entire world's worth of socialization that they've already experienced, so it's fair that a different cover/title might make this an easier sell to boy readers! I would just hope, one day, that wouldn't be an issue anymore. Thanks so much for the wonderful post (and the chance to rant), Karen!Max @ Completely Full Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466405075405012116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-36103657958951210862022-05-16T14:01:05.094-04:002022-05-16T14:01:05.094-04:00The pastel colors would put me off as well, but th...The pastel colors would put me off as well, but this sounds like a good book!
