A picture book I thought of that has a female character rebelling against traditional gender is Kiss Me! (I’m a Prince) by Heather McLeod. The main character, Ella, meets a prince that has been turned into a frog but decides she would rather play with a cool talking frog than have to be a frilly princess. So she doesn’t kiss him!

I have a hard time thinking of picture books where the focus is a girl rebelling against gender roles imposed by society or questioning the gender that they have been assigned. I do know a few that question or fight how girls are "supposed to" dress & behave: Princess Pigsty, Princess Knight & Pirate Girl. All three are by Cornelia Funke.
A few chapter books come to mind such as Marty McGuire and Rickshaw Girl too though there are more. I think Julie and Paul have hit it though that a situation like that is somehow more acceptable in mainstream U.S. society so authors may not find that enough of a conflict.
