His stories and words all are near and dear to our hearts, but what about the characters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We picked our 5 favorite female characters from his books to celebrate today, because here at ONE, we believe it is important to invest in girls and women:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-sally-walden-the-cat-in-the-hat\">1. Sally Walden (The Cat in the Hat)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic story line tells of a brother-sister duo, Conrad and Sally, and their day&nbsp;with the Cat in the Hat and Thing One and Thing Two. The kids run into a moral dilemma at the end of the book, as they try to decide if they should tell their mom about their adventures. But who says a little imagination ever hurt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cindy Lou Who (How the Grinch Stole Christmas)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My personal favorite\u2026a&nbsp;girl who saves the day! Cindy Lou Who speaks up for right and wrong and brings out the best in her community. And there\u2019s a lesson for us all in it \u2013 you&nbsp;are never too young or too old to make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Mayzie McGrew (Daisy-Head Mayzie)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayzie McGrew didn\u2019t know what to do when she sprouted a daisy out of her head! But our favorite Cat in the Hat steps in, teaching her to embrace who she is. In fact, it\u2019s a great thing that we are all unique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Aunt Annie (Dr. Seuss\u2019s ABCs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Big A, little A\u2026. Aunt Annie and an alligator are absolutely awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Yolanda Yorgenson (Dr. Seuss\u2019s ABCs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Young Yolanda Yorgenson knows how to raise her voice for what she believes in \u2013 she even yells it from the back of a yak! Her enthusiasm definitely inspires me to speak up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"buffer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His stories and words all are near and dear to our hearts, but what about the characters?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":162483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"165030,164315,163526,163302,161619,161623","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"topic":[],"contributor":[401],"one_content_audience":[],"one_content_type":[],"one_content_tone":[],"class_list":["post-161537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","contributor-jordan-elton"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 Favorite Dr. Seuss female characters - ONE.org US<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.one.org\/us\/stories\/5-favorite-dr-seuss-female-characters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 Favorite Dr. Seuss female characters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Today is Dr. Seuss&#039;s birthday!
