At Women Are Lit, we empower girls with stories about real women.

Women are complicated and powerful and their identities are meaningful and layered. We're here for all of it.

"My Mommy Is" Children's Book Series

Books about famous women in history are great and all, but the most influential woman in every child's life will always be mommy.

Who is your homeschool bestie? We have ours! Erica Maier Risciglione hosted a magical sold out event at Fred & June’s Books yesterday, and we were thrilled that she made our book “My Mommy is a My Teacher: A Look-and-Find Homeschooling Story” a part of it with a read aloud! You may remember Erica from the launch of our little book as she was one of our homeschool mommy interviews. Follow her @your_homeschool_bestie to keep track of all the awesome stuff she is doing. Also Fred & June’s is THE place to shop Women Are Lit locally in North Carolina so show up for them, WAL-fam! We are so pleased they are choosing to share our books with their community.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. WAL is so excited to celebrate the story of US this month - women like you who are making history right now. This is our favorite time to READ with our littles - stories of notable individual women in history and stories of everyday women who changed history together and continue to change it through movements, labor, and showing up. Happy Women’s History, ladies. This one is for you. #reading #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #library #readinglife #read #reader #kidlit #childrensliterature #childrensbookstagram #raisingreaders #kidsbooks #womenarelit

Do you know about Caribu? This app exploded in 2020 — you can read books, play games, and do activities with the littles in your life live on a video call. We’ve had so much fun over the years goofing off with nieces, nephews, and godchildren on Caribu. Since we love Caribu, we are so proud each time one of our books or activity pages goes live on the app. Our newest books “Mommy’s in a Meeting” and “My Mommy is a Cancer Warrior” are now available as part of the Women Are Lit collection on Caribu. It was especially important to the Caribu team and to us to have “My Mommy is a Cancer Warrior” live for Cancer Awareness Month this month. Thank you to them for making it happen.

If you are on Caribu, you can find our books in New & Noteworthy. If you aren’t on Caribu, you can give it a try for free!

Any other work-from-home mommies trying not to feel guilty about the extra hours of peace in the house now that kids are back to school? No arguing with that - doing one job at a time sure is easier than doing two. But okay, we know adorable photos like this make you never want to have that lil’ boo boo more than a foot away from you ever! “Mommy’s in a Meeting” helps you to start a conversation with your kids about what you do while you work from home. We were told Baby Abby picked her own bedtime storybook in this photo; we swear we didn’t even stage it!

This is a special week - FINALLY an opportunity to celebrate our teachers and nurses the way they deserve. If you’ve ever been scared in a hospital (childbirth, ahem, ahem), there’s no question that nurses are otherworldly in their capacity for compassion, knowledge, and skill. It seems magical and bottomless, but if you or a friend or family member is a nurse, you know it is exhausting hard work. Thank you to our nurses for truly giving of themselves. Teachers, your work is nonstop. Your days fly by in a whirl of activity and you rarely have time to even eat the lunch you packed. And it’s almost the end of the school year so you are running on empty! We love you nurses and teachers and we thank you.

Gosh, we just love books, don’t you? We love to read them, collect them, and write them. We’ve got a few new drafts in the works and we hope to have a new Women Are Lit title for you to add to your children’s book collection soon. But for now, we are wishing you the coziest cuddliest children’s boom week with your favorite littles.

We want to celebrate this milestone of 10,000 Women Are Lit paperbacks sold with you today. Starting something new is a lot of work and the goalpost keeps moving but pausing along the way gives us the energy to keep at it. Thank you to all of our readers. We are proud to have so many families reading books that center their awesome mommies. We set out to acknowledge the hero in every child’s life — their mom — and it feels good to know that is happening for 10,000 families out there. Now on to the goalpost!

Y’all, “Mommy’s in a Meeting” is not just our new book, it is how we live! Had the hubs take this photo TODAY as proof. (Mommy’s also in the middle of a renovation in this photo so there’s stuff literally everywhere.) Our book is selling like hot cakes after the big release yesterday. Grab your copy today or buy one for a friend. We can’t wait to hear which pages make you giggle or say, “That is SO me.” Link in bio.

Y’all, “Mommy’s in a Meeting” is not just our new book, it is how we live! Had the hubs take this photo TODAY as proof. (Mommy’s also in the middle of a renovation in this photo so there’s stuff literally everywhere.) Our book is selling like hot cakes after the big release yesterday. Grab your copy today or buy one for a friend. We can’t wait to hear which pages make you giggle or say, “That is SO me.” Link in bio.

We can’t hold back our big news another minute. Our new book “Mommy’s in a Meeting” is about to be released. Seriously, you’re going to love it. For all the remote-working mommies out there, these pages will absolutely crack you up as they tell the story of mommy and the littles while Mommy is working from home. The beautiful illustrations by @aniruddhalele show mommies of many shapes and shades managing all the things. We will share a link in the coming days! We can’t wait.

True story. Yesterday while I was in meetings, my 8 yr old:
-asked me to open a jar of jalapeños
-invited me to play a card game
-needed help on his summer homework
-just HAD to let me know immediately that dad said he is tall enough not to use his booster seat anymore

What goes on at home while you are in a meeting? We can’t wait to read these comments!

Mother Jones was a union activist who lived from 1830-1930. Did you read that quote? We’re talking 100 years ago and it is still just as relevant.

Aren’t books great? Happy World Book Day, all. Wishing you a happy day of reading. Might we recommend the “My Mommy Is” series? Too blatant a plug? Okay.

Is it me or is revision the hardest part of the children’s book writing process? For me, revising to perfect the text is always the challenge, but our illustrator Ani makes responding to feedback look effortless.

Talk about a heart melt (if you’re in a place that’s getting snow like us, you could use the melt)! @stacieonlongisland shared that her little chose “My Mommy is a Teacher” to bring in for her school’s Shero Day yesterday. First of all, nice choice! Second of all, shout out to her school for celebrating International Women’s Day with a Shero Day! What a great idea. The teacher did a “My Mommy is a Teacher” read aloud for the whole class. This is EXACTLY why we celebrate moms in our “My Mommy Is” series. We know that littles already see mommy as the most important person in the room, so let’s arm them with the details of what mommy does while she’s at work. Thanks for sharing this amazing story Stacie. And you must be doing one heck of a job as a mommy for your little to look up to you the way she does. Bravo!

Our illustrator, Aniruddha Lele got to work representing cancer warriors as the heroes they are for our book “My Mommy is a Cancer Warrior.” There were some changes by the time we got to publishing but this clip shows the essence of how Ani approached the task.

Look down with gratitude on the women whose shoulders you have climbed to get where you are and while you’re there, reach out your hand to pull a woman up. It is the community of sisterhood that will raise one another up.

What do you see your littles doing to imitate you? Our mommy nurse chuckles at her daughter giving her a check-up like a pro. We’ve heard hilarious stories from moms about kids copying their phone conversations on their toy phones. Share in the comments how you see your mini-me copying you.
