"My lovely friend Nelly Thomas is bloody fantastic. She's written a book called "Some Girls" about how girls can be whoever they want to be. The messages in it are really important, the pictures are fab. She's self publishing, and doing a Pozible campaign to raise the money to do it. The book is great, and Nelly is one of the best, most astute, inclusive, talented, kind, and lion-hearted people I know."

"This looks SO AWESOME. Very lucky to count Nelly as a friend and inspiration. If you want to help bring to life a beautiful book for children celebrating the many different and wonderful ways there are to be a girl - which INCLUDES loving pink and dolls AND/OR trucks and superheroes - then please check this Pozible out and support Nelly!
It's so important for us to challenge and deconstruct outdated and damaging stereotypes around what it means to be a girl or a boy. We need to celebrate the many different expressions of self that children explore as they begin to know their own minds and desires. Removing gender stereotypes is a step towards liberation for all of them! And for us too!'

"My big hearted super smart friend Nelly Thomas is running a Pozible campaign to self-publish her kids' book 'SOME GIRLS'. It looks so great and the front cover burst my heart open. You can pre-order a copy now."

"Amazing! Can't wait for this. Once this is published let's start a guerrilla campaign to slip it into every toy store's pink / blue aisles."

"Wanna be part of a project to produce a great picture book for girls that gives them confidence & celebrates individuality? This looks fantastic, & will be followed up by a boys' version. Huzzah for Nelly Thomas & Sarah Dunk. It's a good time to do something so positive." (see: Kaz Cooke, Facebook)
