147. Forrest Dickison: When A Children's Book Gets Gender Right


Listen Later

Most children’s book and entertainment are woefully lame (and, of course, most adult books and entertainment are lame as well [(did you guys see that there is an Amazon show for clowns that has a black, gay, handicap King of England?]). In attempts to counteract that (often with good intentions) authors who seek to position the male lead in his rightful masculine place often, perhaps unknowing to them (perhaps in their knee-jerk reaction resulting in overcorrection), will often relegate the female role to a truncated picture of optimal biblical femininity. However, in Forrest Dickison’s new children’s book “Crispin’s Rainy Day” we don’t get that sort of sloppy work. Sons of Adam and daughters of Eve are given a proper account that aligns aright with their respective roles as bearers of the image of God.
