It's essential that children know that the world we live in isn't perfect and that we all have the ability to change it, to make it better for everyone. And it's fine for preschool on up, though of course it'll lead to richer discussions with older children. Fun, funny, exquisitely illustrated and brilliantly written with a message that is sure to resonate with kids. Are you inviting the reader to a discussion about how left wing groups tear themselves apart in never ending tests of idealogical purity while right wingers have no problem voting along party lines, whatever their personal squabbles? When I bring books into our home, I want beautiful books that are going to remain relevant and meaningful and reflect respect for children and a vision of a sound world.It took me a couple of reads to get the rhythm of the words (it could also be that I have no rhythm).

This bestselling ABC book is written and illustrated for the next generation of progressives: families who want their kids to grow up in a space that is unapologetic about activism, environmental justice, civil rights, LGBTQ rights and everything else that activists believe in and fight for.The image shows a large crowd of people in solidarity at a candle light vigil, and many of the faces can actually be recognized as prominent, historical figures. A is for Activist, written and illustrated by Innosanto Nagara, takes your classic alphabet book and adds a twist of political motivation.

It definitely has an "us against them" feel, and comes out of a lot of anger towards racism, sexism, environmental harm, inequality, etc. The alphabet format makes zero sense on some pages for example using a word that begins with “J” on the “H” page. Kids who are reading board books are not going to read this, nor will they be able to understand it.And more likely than not, if you are the kind of parent that would read this book to your child, you would have raised them to agree with the book entirely by the time they are mature enough to think about these issues on their own. A is for Activist is an ABC board book written and illustrated for the next generation of progressives: families who want their kids to grow up in a space that is unapologetic about activism, environmental justice, civil rights, LGBTQ rights and everything else that activists believe in and fight for.
