Inside: Amazing children’s books about activism that will empower and inspire your kids to make positive changes in their lives and the lives of others.
Too often kids are made to feel like they can’t do much to change their circumstances.
Think about it.
How many times do you tell your kids they have to go to bed at 8 o’clock? Or, no they can’t have fruit snacks instead of dinner. Oh and you also need to take more than three bites of your dinner if you want a snack after dinner.
Kids are constantly being told what they can and can’t do.
Obviously you do this for a good reason, I mean a kid needs guidance to learn rules, values, boundaries, and how to be a good human!
But it can also stop them from feeling they have any power over what happens to them, to others, or to the world.
But you can change that by doing one simple thing.
Read to them.
Reading has such an amazing power to shape your kid’s mind and the way they think.
These books about activism and social justice will give your kids the power to say:
Yes I am a girl and my voice matters.
Yes I am Black and my voice matters.
Yes I am Hispanic and my voice matters.
Yes I am a kid and my voice matters.
Yes climate change is real and I can make a difference.
No I won’t stay silent, or turn and look the other way when I see inequality or injustices of any kind.
Yes I can make a difference!
