Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice.This first book in the series begins the conversation on race, with a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.Estos albumes ilustrados, enfocados en temas especificos y desarrollados por expertos en las areas de primera infancia y activismo contra la injusticia, ofrecen un leguaje claro y concreto, e imagenes atractivas que los ninos entenderan y los adultos podran aprovechar para ampliar la conversaci n.Los ninos observan y cuestionan con avidez lo que sucede a su alrededor. Los adultos, en contraste, suelen acallar o posponer las conversaciones sobre temas complicados porque les cuesta saber por d nde empezar. Hay investigaciones que demuestran que el hablar sobre asuntos como la raza y el genero desde los dos anos de edad no solo ayuda a los ninos a entender lo que ven sino que incrementa su autoconocimiento y autoestima y los ayuda a reconocer y confrontar cuestiones injustas, como la discriminaci n y los prejuicios.Este primer libro de la colecci n inicia la conversaci n sobre la raza con una aproximaci n provista de apoyo que tiene en cuenta tanto al nino como al adulto. Bellas ilustraciones acompanan el texto, simple e interactivo; y al final se ofrecen recursos e ideas adicionales para ampliar la conversaci n.
