IntersectionAllies

IntersectionAllies isn’t just a book. It’s a mirror in which kids of all genders, races, sexualities, abilities, cultures, and origins can see their whole selves reflected, respected, and celebrated. In a world increasingly fractured by xenophobia, racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia, and other forms of injustice, IntersectionAllies teaches the meaning of “community” to kids and parents alike, along with rhyming strategies to support and celebrate each other’s differences. IntersectionAllies is perfect for: Kids in diverse schools, cities, churches, and other settings who would benefit from having a basic understanding of the lives of their friends and other people around them, along with ways they’re similar and differentKids who ask a lot of questions about the news they overhear on TV and the radio—and parents who are stumped for answersActivist parents who want to engage their children in age-appropriate activismParents, educators, and practitioners who are searching for ways to connect world events and injustices to children’s livesKids who have yet to see themselves and their experiences reflected in books and other mediaAdults still trying to grasp the concepts of “intersectionality” and “allyship” themselvesLibrarians looking to build community and create dialogue in their neighborhoods, diverse or otherwiseBooksellers looking to build out their diversity-related offerings to kids in the most inclusive way possibleAnyone hoping to help raise thoughtful, caring, educated allies and world citizens—and anyone hoping to become this themselves, too
