Rosa Plays Ball
Jessica Spanyol
This simple, inclusive board book follows Rosa as she plays ball—kicking, throwing, and catching with friends and family. The text is minimal, allowing the images to speak to joyful participation and play, while also subtly challenging assumptions about gendered activities and who can be sporty.
Why It’s Included
This title supports representation and normalisation of girls in active roles without making a big deal of it. It aligns with our values around stereotype-free play and quiet, everyday empowerment through inclusive imagery and developmentally appropriate content.
Who It’s For
Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers aged 1 to 4. A great addition to early learning settings and home bookshelves, especially for families wanting to model inclusive, non-gendered play in everyday situations.
