I was furious that our children are fed this nonsense by TV, films, toys and advertising. It's coming at them, sometimes inadvertently but usually intentionally, from all angles and it's incredibly limiting for both boys and girls. I felt I had to do something to counteract it and Pearl Power was born.' Book addressing same sex parents aimed at 4-7 year olds.
