Description
Every Body: A First Conversation About Bodies is based on the research that race, gender, consent, and body liberation should be discussed with toddlers and beyond. This read-aloud board book series offers 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 features clear, concrete language and beautiful imagery to introduce the concept of body liberation. It serves to celebrate the uniqueness of your body and all bodies, addressing the unfair rules and ideas that currently exist about bodies. The book concludes with motivational action points for making the world a fairer place for all!
Young children are avid observers and questioners of their world. Yet, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complex topics as it's challenging to know where to begin. Research indicates that discussing issues like race and gender from the age of two helps children understand their environment, enhances self-awareness and self-esteem, and enables them to recognize and confront unfairness, such as discrimination and prejudice.
Every Body: A First Conversation About Bodies offers a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, while the backmatter provides additional resources and ideas for extending the discussion.
