Resources for Raising Conscious Kids: February Edition

As an agency, Bridgetown Baby is deeply committed both to confronting bias within ourselves, building our skills, and creating an inclusive model of care that authentically serves our clients and contributes to culture change. This is work we all can do. It starts with us; it continues with our children - and we are their most important teachers. Each month, we'll be sharing resources for talking with kids about bias, celebrating differences, and actions our families can take to create a world we all can live in.

The ABCs of Black History is as charming as it is informative, as sobering as it is soaring with hope. Rio Cortez and Lauren Semmer team up on a book with bright illustrations that bring alive many seminal moments and heroes in America’s Black history, and lyrical text that invites the reader in. With succinct stories told rhythmically, this is a book that educates, celebrates, and reverberates. It’s not only perfect for this month’s celebration of Black History - it’s bound to inspire all year round.

You can find The ABCs of Black History at Portland’s Black-owned Third Eye Books or at your local library.
