Absolutely loved this pick and had demands to read it over and over. It's a very adult issue that approached in a kid friendly way without being condescending. The vocabulary was nicely done and introduced more advanced terms for the age group which is always nice to see, the art style was bright and inviting. And with the focus on working together was exceptionally well broached in a not nagging way.

In sum: a girl grows up with neglectful parents who take no time teaching her about biology,anatomy,basic life skills or the difference between sex and gender leaving her thrown to the wolves of “figure it out yourself from media and whomever comes along”. Apparently going against gender roles means living by the opposite sexes gender role and somehow THAT validates....gender roles.....

I don't hold anything against Maia, after all she navigated and is navigating life was best as she can given the circumstances stacked against her. She deserved more than being raised by fantasy and without adults to offer her the emotional and mental support she needed,especially at such a crucial time of development.

The recipes were generic, the instructions badly written. It really wasn't worth the time reading. An attempt but badly executed.

A book that hides under the well-meaning concept of inclusivity and compassion.Audience aimed at is very young children and instead of talking of biological facts or sex vs gender it paints an unscientific and insulting view of pregnancy and men.If you're ready to talk to your kids about pregnancy, anatomy and childbirth there are some very good and accurate books out there like: [b:Mommy, What's Inside Your Tummy?! 58270261 Mommy, What's Inside Your Tummy?!

AI slop and stolen recipes. Nothing about this is for the Kitchenarm 29 in 1 nor any other specific bread machine. He just used software and AI to grab random bread machine recipes from online and generate ridiculous looking pics then slap them together in a badly formatted layout.
