The old “Free to Be… You and Me” LP provided the soundtrack for my children’s early years, and they still recite lines of dialog (“You’re bald as a ping pong ball!” or the sarcastic “Ladies first, ladies first”) from Marlo Thomas’ groundbreaking anthology. Subtitled “A different kind of book for children and adults to enjoy together”, both book and record were a delight. They provided a gentle whack on the side of the head, particularly in their early view of gender equality.
