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.
