I Love Mel's new children's book, Pearl Power, is out on the 1st of October!


With the Always LIKE A GIRL campaign and Emma Watson’s HE FOR SHE campaign and recent speech for the UN on gender equality and feminism, this is undoubtedly, a time for change. A time when women AND men are ready to banish old fashioned beliefs about sexual stereotyping. 

But what about little girls and boys?

Pearl Power is a feminist book aimed at 4-7 year olds. Its aim is to teach children from a very young age about negative gender stereotyping... in a fun way!
