NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that every parent, caregiver, and teacher needs to raise the next generation of antiracist thinkers, from the author of How to Be an Antiracist and recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Grant. "Kendi's latest . . . combines his personal experience as a parent with his scholarly expertise in showing how racism affects every step of a child's life. . . . Like all his books, this one is accessible to everyone regardless of race or class."-Los Angeles Times (Book Club Pick)The tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research and experience changed his mind, and he realized that raising his child to be antiracist would actually protect his child, and preserve her innocence and joy. He realized that teaching students about the reality of racism and the myth of race provides a protective education in our diverse and unequal world. He realized that building antiracist societies safeguards all children from the harms of racism. Following the accessible genre of his internationally bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative of his own journey as a parent and as a child in school. The chapters follow the stages of child development from pregnancy to toddler to schoolkid to teenager. It is never too early or late to start raising young people to be antiracist.

** Includes foreword from Susie Green, CEO of charity Mermaids ** Mama, something went wrong in your tummy. And it made me come out as a boy instead of a girl. When Marlo Mack's three year old says these words, she's not surprised - but she's completely unprepared. Marlo gave birth to a beautiful baby boy - M - and brushed his pleas for pink clothes and dresses aside as a young child's playful experimentation with gender. But when her son begs to be put back in her tummy because he came out wrong, she knows she must listen more closely.How to Be a Girl is a raw and unflinching memoir of a mother grappling with her child's transition. Always wanting to support M, Marlo - whose podcast of the same name has over 1.3 million downloads - finds her liberal values surprisingly challenged, and as she learns more about gender and its varied expressions, she questions what being a girl - or a boy, or something else entirely - really means.For every copy of this book sold in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Icon Books will donate 30p to Mermaids (1160575), a charity that is committed to supporting trans, non-binary and gender diverse children and their families.

Dezessete escritoras adolescentes apresentam nos contos publicados nesta obra um mosaico de olhares sensíveis sobre múltiplas experiências femininas. As narrativas visitam vivências da infância, da adolescência e da vida adulta, por vezes expondo, sem atenuantes, as dores viscerais e os traumas acumulados nesses percursos. Em muitos momentos, as autoras trazem um olhar crítico sobre a realidade de mulheres ou meninas marginalizadas, seja pela cor da pele, seja pela classe social, ou simplesmente pela condição de ser mulher, tecendo temas tão densos quanto a homofobia, o machismo e o racismo estrutural, abordados em narrativas simples apenas na superfície. Muitas dessas histórias não deixam de apontar caminhos de superação, alcançada pela sororidade e pela compreensão, sob a perspectiva feminista e empática dessas jovens autoras em formação. O livro é um projeto concebido e organizado pelo Coletivo Nós, Marias, que integra a rede Girl Up, iniciativa da ONU para o empoderamento de meninas em todo o mundo. Foi desenvolvido em parceria com a Editora Jandaíra ao longo de um ano, desde a abertura de uma chamada pública que recebeu mais de 200 contos de 25 diferentes estados, até a seleção e organização dos textos e a escolha da ilustradora, também adolescente, para a imagem da capa.
