Mighty Girl!

If you, like me, are already holiday shopping for the little ladies (and gents) in your life, here's a great website with tons of ideas.  A Mighty Girl features "the world's largest collection of books, toys and movies for smart, confident and courageous girl."  Finds include:

 Frida Kahlo paper dolls

 Betsy Ross finger puppet and magnet

The Roominate Deluxe Kit,                                    

which lets a future engineer build

a room with working lights and elevators, as 

well as design furniture!  

The site also includes a book club and some enlightening essays, including this one about Judy Blume's fight against censorship.  My little Mighty Girl will be getting the Wonder Woman Invisible Jet play set and Laugh and Learn Piggy Bank, and there's also tons of great ideas for teachers and literary lovers (Emily Dickinson and Zora Neale Hurston have also gotten the finger puppet treatment!)
