About the book
Teach Me Antiracism: Allyship uses poetry to introduce elementary school kids to the language of LGBTQIA+ identity, inclusion, and allyship. From A to Z, each letter introduces a new term, from ally and nonbinary to pride, visibility, and welcoming spaces, in a way that is affirming and easy for young readers to understand.
The aim is not only to educate but to help children grow into kind, courageous friends who stand up for others and help build a world where everyone is free to be exactly who they are.
Parents and educators will find it a valuable resource for starting honest, age-appropriate conversations about gender, identity, and respect. A full glossary at the back helps grown-ups keep the conversation going.
“
A is for ally, a trusted friend who stands up tall,
Who says, “I’ll be there, whenever you call.”
An ally helps others feel free
To be exactly who they want to be.
They fight against hate with all their might,
Advocating for everyone’s right
To be loved and to love who they want.
An ally is a champion and confidant.
