| Summary: | We believe books can be the vehicle that brings us together, helping us consider these shared experiences (and some with which we might be personally less familiar) so we can start the conversations that can feel too big to tackle. As we share research, theories and instructional strategies, we also share memories, experiences and perspectives. All of this has led us to the creation of this book, a book that brings together the power of children's literature and that of courageous conversations. This book was conceived with the idea of encouraging and assisting the adults who courageously enter conversation with children on tough issues. We believe these conversations are vitally important to children's development. We also believe that carefully curated and sequenced sets of outstanding diverse books combined with specific activities, discussion prompts and guidance can help those conversations to begin. |
