Does any body remember this book. I think it was my first feminist text! (at age 4) and i read it to my kids.
It starts
"I see her, she sees me, we see that we are he and she"
"Every single bear we see is a he bear or a she"
"Every single bear we see has lots of things to do and be"
It starts with being a father or mother which are for 'he bears' or 'she bears' and then goes into all the things that any kind of bear can do
......drive a dump truck, drive a train, have a store, be a doctor, knit a sock, paint a picture, lead a band, sing a song, be a magician, go on TV, study the fish that live in the sea..... and so on and so on.
"We’ll jump and dig and build and fly
There’s nothing that we cannot try.
We can do all these things, you see,
Whether we are he or she!"
I think the Stan and Jan Berenstain nailed it!
I wonder if it would be seen as transphobic today
