“‘F’ is for Feminist. For fairness in our pay.”
“‘J’ is for Justice! Justicia for all.”
“L-G-B-T-Q! Love who you choose.”
Toddler tomes, they are meant to resonate most ringingly with progressive millennials and their tiniest charges, some still in onesies, others not yet potty trained. Sari Yaffee, who hopes to instill in her 2 year old the conviction that little girls can do most anything their labile minds can dream. “It’s important to me that she hear not just books about princesses.” These books are addressing themes of immigration, climate change, racial and ethnic diversity, feminism and gender identification, all gathered under the rubric of social justice. To booksellers and publishers, such topics are especially timely. “Since the election, there has been a greater sense of urgency about these issues,” said Annie Hedrick." Parents in our area are trying to find ways to take them up with their kids.” “For every book about social justice, I’d like to see 50 published,” Ms. Clayton said, “more books about kids getting involved in their communities, about children of all backgrounds working together.” And, she added, more books for babies and toddlers that address a spectrum of topics, including racial and ethnic diversity, gender and sexual identity, religious diversity, female empowerment and disability. The need for books in each category is most pronounced in board books, picture books and chapter books for the very youngest readers, Ms. Clayton said. “That is where the lack of diversity is still most jarring.” "When racist, misogynistic and hateful rhetoric has become mainstream,” Laura Norton-Cruz said, “offering affirming and respectful messages to my children seems more urgent than ever.”
For Ms. Norton-Cruz, diversity has wider implications. “I want to teach my kids, starting young,” she said, “to respect people with disabilities, people that don’t necessarily look like them, people of all gender identities.” How young is too young?...

You guys, these are my new nieces!!
