BOYS ARE BORING: You Keep Setting Traps and You Will Never Catch Me by Sharon Esther Lampert
A hilarious, empowering, and visually stunning children's book about a girl who refuses to dim, shrink, slow down, or be trapped - not by boys, not by expectations, and not by centuries of gender rules.
In this beautifully illustrated, fast-paced adventure, a brilliant, bold, unstoppable girl declares her independence one chapter at a time. She won't dim her light. She won't be a sidekick. She won't pass the ball, do your homework, or trade her microscope for anyone's blurry lens. She chooses herself, her books, her music, her imagination, and her future.
With every page, she steps more fully into her power - until she reaches the triumphant final declaration:
"Centuries of gender apartheid are over. I am free. I am whole. I am me."

Fierce, funny, unforgettable "I will not..." declarationsEmpowering rhymes that build confidence and courageStunning illustrations of planets, creativity, science, art, music, and imaginationA powerful poem, The Minus Zero Woman, that deepens the book's emotional impactA global message of liberation, self-worth, and girl-genius brilliancePerfect for girls who love adventure, independence, humor, and books that make them feel strong.
