We continue with our efforts to embrace simple, equitable and inclusive family life and communities. In a recent podcast Kim asked for any suggestions listeners might have for racially inclusive children's book that were also slow paced and gently illustrated. The response has been great. Thanks you dear community members!
Of course, like always it is up to our own parental judgement whether a book from this, or any other list will work for your family. Here are some books that people in the simplicity community recommended.
We support independently owned book stores and if one of these books looks right for you and you need to shop online it is worth checking out Bookshop.org where these book sellers have come together to offer a great alternative.”
