PARENTING BEYOND THE GENDER BIAS
Written in a relatable way this book is a thorough and researched based piece that illustrates the way we interfere in the development of boys and girls from the moment they are born, and how it has consequences on who they become.
Exploring books, tv shows, language, toys, clothes and with an understandable view of neuroplasticity this book will make us more aware of how much impact we have in the gender differences that we then call nature.
“Virginia writes in a style that puts a smile on your face and gets you excited about the privilege to parent the next generation in a thoughtful and compassionate style."
(Verified Amazon Review)
"If every carer, parent, and teacher read this book and truly applied its principles in educating children, we can end gender discrimination within a generation"

Mika & Lolo
CHALLENGING GENDER BIAS
Mika & Lolo is a bilingual children’s book - available in Spanish/English, German/English, French/English & Italian/English.
It’s the first book of the Mika & Lolo collection invite kids to challenge the gender stereotypes, apply critical thinking, and praise them for being themselves. In turn, reinforcing their self-esteem and opening their choices and possibilities.
EXPLORING CONSENT
With an accessible language and a narrative that kids will easily identify with, this new book will make children (and adults) more aware of the whole concept of consent and the importance of setting and respecting boundaries. Because it is really important to learn how to say no but also how to accept a no.
The book is available only in Spanish/English at the moment.
“Mika & Lolo is a fantastic, engaging story that is interesting not only for children but for adults too. The fact it is written in Spanish and English only adds to its appeal. I really enjoyed it!”
