I had bought the original EOS M when it came out, then some years later got the EOS M100. Really liked the M100 + 22mm pancake lens as a pocket one handed camera. Then I traded it in for the M6 Mk I (not II). I like the handling of the M6 Mk I, but its not quite the same pocketable camera as the M100. Recently my daughter has wanted a camera, so I'm thinking of getting the M100 again, pair it with the 22mm pancake lens for her.

Would it be too much camera for a 6 yr old?

In this day and age I'd just give her a de-activated Smart Phone.  This would give her a leg up on the competition at school too!  Then get her one of those little Zink (2" x 3") instant printers too.
