A beautiful depiction of encouraging our girls in their interests - no matter what they may be.
Love this brilliant comic from Lunarbaboon about the power of encouraging girls in all their interests -- including in the skilled trades! Whether she wants to become a home repair DIY expert or pursue a trade professionally, by supporting our girls when they're interested in learning to build, wire, or weld, parents and educators can help ensure that Mighty Girls know their possibilities are limitless!
To give tween girls the confidence and knowledge to tackle building or repair projects now or in the future, we highly recommend the the photo-filled guide "Girls Who Build" for ages 8 to 13 at https://www.amightygirl.com/girls-who-build
For teen girls (and adult women), we recommend "Girls Garage: How to Use Any Tool" - filled with 175 illustrated tool guides - for ages 13 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/girls-garage
