About the book
From A to Z, Teach Me Antiracism: Wellness introduces children to words and ideas related to caring for their bodies, minds, and hearts. Through engaging poems and child-friendly language, each letter explores a different part of wellness, from agency and breath to nourishment, rest, and healing. The aim is not just to teach healthy habits, but to help children understand that wellness is also about safety, care, belonging, and justice.
Tailored for elementary school kids, the book offers an age-appropriate introduction to emotional, physical, and community well-being. It helps children recognize their needs, express their feelings, and practice ways of caring for themselves and others. More than just a book, it is a tool for helping young readers build self-awareness, empathy, and healthy routines that can support them for life.
Parents and educators will find Teach Me Antiracism: Wellness to be a valuable resource for starting meaningful conversations about rest, stress, healing, boundaries, and support. With warmth, affirmation, and an antiracist lens, this book encourages children to see wellness as something everyone deserves.
“
B is for breath,
A steady in and out,
A way to help your body
When fear begins to shout.
Breathe in like smelling flowers,
Breathe out like cooling hot tea.
Your breath can be a doorway
Back to feeling safe and free.
