Families (We Are Little Feminists)
(Reviewed with We Are Little Feminists: Hair and We Are Little Feminists: On-the-Go ) A trio of board books celebrates a remarkable range of human diversity with joyful affirmation through rhyming texts and clear color photographs. In Families, groupings of all sorts are present, crossing age, race, gender, sexuality, and body type. Photos of adults snuggling their children accompany the words “All our love piled in a heap / A comfy place for me to sleep.” Hair on bodies and heads (or no hair at all!) across shades, types, and styles, is equally celebrated in Hair. Mobility is the focus of On-the-Go, with photographs of mostly young people jumping, climbing, biking, riding, walking, and running, some making use of prosthetics, wheelchairs, crutches, and other mobility support. “I might need a little help / or I get there by myself. / Look at all the ways / I can go!” ©2021 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
