What is this little miss trend?

Little Miss is a brand of children's books created by British author Roger Hargreaves. The series features a collection of colorful characters, each with their own distinct personality and traits. The characters are primarily female, represented by the prefix "Little Miss," and have become popular figures in children's literature.

The Little Miss series was first introduced in 1981 as a spin-off of Hargreaves' earlier Mr. Men series, which featured male characters. The original Little Miss characters included Little Miss Bossy, Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Naughty, and Little Miss Helpful, among others.

Over time, the series expanded to include additional characters, bringing the total number of Little Misses to 30 as of 2021. Each character is portrayed in a light-hearted and humorous manner, often embodying a particular characteristic or personality trait, such as Little Miss Chatterbox, Little Miss Tidy, or Little Miss Giggles.

The books are typically short and consist of simple stories, making them easily accessible to young readers. They convey positive messages about kindness, friendship, and embracing one's unique qualities. The books are also known for their brightly colored illustrations and distinctive square shape.

The Little Miss brand has since expanded beyond books into various merchandise and adaptations, including animated television series, toys, clothing, and accessories. The characters have become recognizable icons, beloved by children and adults alike, and continue to be a popular trend in children's literature.
