Thank you Circles of Courageous Commons for introducing these 3 children's books and authors to us.
The most formative book for me as a child was the classic "The Story of Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf. Published in 1936. Set in Spain, Ferdinand was a gentle bull who did not want to fight, he'd rather sit down and smell the flowers. This story is a direct contrast to the macho images of masculinity and it celebrates gentleness and peacefulness.

I love Ferdinand too!
Fabulous. I love each of these stories and how they make room for more love, for all of us and everyone to belong.🩷
YES, and this is just the beginning! Imagine how many more we could love?
