If you're still looking for gift ideas for kids, consider some of the books highlighted on our
Teach a Girl to Lead™ website
. We've found lots of treasures for all ages - fiction and non-fiction, picture books and biographies and more. Our current favorite?
Grace for President
by Kelly DiPucchio, which tells the story of a girl who, stunned to discover that all U.S. presidents have been men, decides to kick off her own political career by running for president of her class. She faces off against a popular boy and wins in a surprising way. In fact, we like it so much that we'll have a special announcement about it early in 2016; watch News and Notes to find out more!

Speaks for itself - negative side
The New Republic
reports on what it dubs "The Year in Female Politicians Dealing with Utter Crap." No further comment is necessary. But if you're not sufficiently depressed, see what
