To anyone reading this, if you write a children's book, regardless of the content of it, please, please hire an artist. I know you might think "It's fine, it's just for kids, it doesn't need to look good." But it is vital for the book to have any impact at all, to be anything other than egotistical self-fellatio. I'm sorry, but I just don't think that is appropriate content for a children's book.

Also, why is she Fearless Girl?

Fearless Girl was commissioned by State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), a large asset management company, to advertise for an index fund that comprises gender-diverse companies that have a relatively high percentage of women among their senior leadership. A plaque originally placed below the statue stated: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol.

Because a corporate grift that makes vague gestures at feminism without actually doing anything materially feminist is the kinda thing that Warren's supporters could really get behind.

"What It Takes to Run for President"

Is this book about filling in forms and getting signatures? If you're writing a book about running for president, why not pick somebody who won the election? Or at least, won the primary? Or at least, won some states in the primary? Or at least, retained any modicum of self respect?

It's a book about superpacs and ratfucking

I can't imagine ever being a big enough fan of a politician that I buy some weird children's book hagiography of them to read to my child.

Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I actually really dislike this one. A poor concept executed poorly.

If you have a friend or colleague in your life who is willing to tell you when something you’ve created is not good, please let them know that you appreciate them
