MOLLERIS guide

Books for Girls Who Think Differently

A small MOLLERIS shelf for curious, unconventional girls who do not always see the world the same way as everyone else.

Why this list?

The best stories do not ask a child to become less herself. They make room for curiosity, persistence, different ways of thinking and the confidence to keep going when the obvious path does not fit.

We are not trying to create a definitive list. MOLLERIS is a curated shelf: we choose books because we think they are genuinely good, visually appealing and worth putting in front of a child.
