Reviews for Anti-Bias Education in the Early Childhood Classroom: Hand in Hand, Step by Step

This powerful book, full of action strategies, provides everything you ever needed to know about teaching young children-and adults-about bias and diversity. Drawing from her own diverse experiences, Katie Kissinger invites us to join others in an effort to create a world where every person can feel safe and welcome to be who they are. -Elizabeth Jones, Faculty emerita, Pacific Oaks College This thoughtful, provocative book offers guidance and encouragement for educators as they take up anti-bias and anti-oppression work. The book's intimate, conversational style invites readers to think about ways to integrate social justice teaching and learning that align with current campaigns for justice in areas like transgender rights and the Black Lives Matter movement. Katie emphasizes the importance of educators' ongoing development as anti-oppression activists, calling us all-beginners, allies, and activists-to move steadily forward in creating communities for children, families, and educators that are just, joyful, and embracing. -Ann Pelo, teacher educator, program consultant, and editor of Rethinking Early Childhood Education
