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 different Kids who ask a lot of questions about the news they overhear on TV and the radio—and parents who are stumped for answers Activist parents who want to engage their children in age-appropriate activism Parents, educators, and practitioners who are searching for ways to connect world events and injustices to children’s lives Kids who have yet to see themselves and their experiences reflected in books and other media Adults still trying to grasp the concepts of “intersectionality” and “allyship” themselves Librarians looking to build community and create dialogue in their neighborhoods, diverse or otherwise Booksellers looking to build out their diversity-related offerings to kids in the most inclusive way possible Anyone hoping to help raise thoughtful, caring, educated allies and world citizens—and anyone hoping to become this themselves, too
