New customizeable book helps girls smash tech stereotypes

When Hillary Clinton lost her history-making bid for the presidency last week, many parents had the painful task of sharing a hopeful message with their little girls in the face of devastating defeat. Only time can numb that grief, but a new book offers solace with a message that girls can be the heroes of their own stories.

The robot, however, takes matters into his own hands and its creator must save the day. What makes the book, which is available online only, even better is the ability to customize the heroine to reflect a girl's appearance and race or ethnicity.
