When Parker Danis was six years old, she realised the book she was reading about glow in the dark bugs wasn't meant for her - because it was part of a series called the 'Biggest Baddest Books for Boys'.
She decided to write a letter to the publishers, ABDO publishing, to complain.
As Danis' local paper in California, the Milpitas Post reports, this is how it read:
Dear Publishers:
I am a 6-year-old girl and I just read the 'Biggest, Baddest Book of Bugs.' I really enjoyed the section on Glow in the Dark bugs and the quizzes at the end. When I saw the back cover title, it said 'Biggest Baddest Books for Boys' and it made me very unhappy.
It made me very sad because there's no such thing as a boy book. You should change from 'Biggest, Baddest Books for Boys' into 'Biggest, Baddest Books for Boys and Girls' because some girls would like to be entomologists too.
