Old MacDonald Had a Farm fills a critical gap in children’s literature by telling a traditional story in a stereotype-defying way. Engaging, inclusive, and empowering, Brittany Pennington invites all children to imagine themselves on the farm. Empower Stories hold a special place on on my bookshelves and in my own toddlers' hands.”-Dr. Jessica Simacek, PhD, Education Researcher, University of Minnesota“I feel so fortunate to have discovered Empower Stories! As an early elementary educator, I feel passionate about exposing my students to stories that fight against stereotypical and inaccurate depictions of what it means to be a boy or a girl in our world today. Girls and boys can be strong, smart, confident, and courageous, just as much as they can be helpful and compassionate.” -Christy Austin“As a mom of two little ones, I work hard to deflate the gender stereotypes that are so often seen in books, the media and children’s toys. Old MacDonald had a Farm from Empower Stories has helped to do just this. With my oldest, we have discussed the differences between the traditional song and this book. Both of my kids enjoy the fun and vibrant artwork. We look forward to reading more like it. ” -Gina Braun
