New edition includes discussion guide with age-appropriate questions for parents and educators.
We Are Little Feminists: On-the-Go helps families and educators discuss mobility aids, celebrate all types of movement, and advocate for accessibility for all. Created for 0-5-year-olds: the book’s photographs help infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to celebrate faces, bodies, and limbs that are both different and like their own.
About the Series We Are Little Feminists is the identity-affirming board book series developed to raise intersectional feminists. Children love photos of everyday kids & families, but only 13% of children's books represent our diverse world. We Are Little Feminists pairs beautiful photos with playful, rhythmic text to help families and classrooms stand against racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism.
