A picture book edition of the board book about body liberation,
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 picture book offers clear,
concrete language and beautiful imagery to introduce the concept of
BODY LIBERATION. This book serves to celebrate the uniqueness of your
body and all bodies, and addresses the unfair rules and ideas that
currently exist about bodies. It ends with motivational action points
for making the world more fair for all!
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.
These books offer 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.
