Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see but also increases self-awareness and self-esteem, allowing them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These titles offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the back matter in each book offers additional resources and ideas for extending discussions.Includes three hardcover picture books:Our Skin: A First Conversation About RaceBeing You: A First Conversation About GenderYes!
