Episode 10: 21 Best Diverse Board Books for Babies and Toddlers (and Grown-Ups!) | Diverse Books Series (Part 2)
In this Final Episode of Season 1, we discuss 21 of the Best Diverse Board Books for Babies, Toddlers, and even Grown-Ups!  Studies show that children start to look more at faces that match the faces of their caregivers by just 3 months of age; by 2 years old, they start using race to reason about people’s behaviors; and by two-and-a-half, most children use race to choose playmates. Systemic and structural racism needs to be countered with intentional action from birth and, in order to do so, infants and toddlers should be surrounded with positive narratives and images of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.  Reading books to very young children that feature Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of color is one of the best and easiest ways to make sure your infants and toddlers see and celebrate diversity as they grow.    Click HERE for the TRANSCRIPT, the FULL LIST OF BOOKS mentioned in this episode, and all FREE PRINTABLES.      Click HERE to join our mailing list!  Get in touch via email: christina@exquisitelyeverafter.com Get in touch on Instagram: @exquisitelyeverafter All other information can be found in the blog post for this episode:  https://exquisitelyeverafter.com/episode10/   If you liked this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and tell your friends!  Happy Reading!       Exquisitely Ever After is a podcast about reading children’s literature to cultivate kind, intelligent, and successful kids.  Host Christina Phillips-Mattson is a writer, educator, and mother of two little boys who received her Ph.D. in children’s and young adult literature from Harvard University.
