I’m a Girl! By Yasmeen Ismail (Bloomsbury; €8.80)

This is narrated by a feisty little girl who is constantly mistaken for a boy because of her tomboy antics, such as her wild bravery, loud drumming, and race victories.

When she meets up with a boy who likes to play gentle games with dolls, they rejoice together, each of them openly happy with their particular fun. A gentle tale that embraces gender differences. For age seven and up.
