A picture book edition of the bestselling board book about gender,
offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with
young children in an informed, safe, and supported way.
Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism
against injustice, this topic-driven board book offers clear,
concrete language and beautiful imagery that young children can grasp
and adults can leverage for further discussion.
While young children are avid observers and questioners of their
world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on
complicated topics because it’s hard to know where to begin.
Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from
the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but
also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to
recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination
and prejudice.
This second book in the series begins the conversation on gender,
with a supportive approach that considers both the child and the
adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and
the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending
this discussion.
