Reviews
“Ultimately, WHITE PRIVLEGE is a timely book on a topic that young people need to learn about. Few resources and opportunities for explicit teaching on white privilege exist for this age group, so this book should be a welcome addition to every school library.”
-Mark David Smith
YA Dude Books

“ABLEISM encourages a greater understanding about what it means to be disabled and how to be an ally… Real-world scenarios, quizzes, Q&As, and fresh graphics featuring a range of intersectional identities make this resource both inclusive and appealing.”
– Booklist

“Transphobia deserves lots of positive feedback… I felt like it explained a topic that confuses many adults in a manner accessible to youth. And I can’t say enough positive things about how inclusive the art was. It stood out to me that it portrayed kids with disabilities in a fashion that their disability wasn’t a statement.”
– Ryan Full, Educator
NetGalley

“ISLAMOPHOBIA …patiently and clearly sets each scene, identifies the issue, offers real-life examples, and provides do’s and don’ts to help readers navigate the various scenarios.
– Kirkus Reviews

“The accessible language of FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION is meant to appeal to pre-teen and teenage readers … Teachers and counselors might find this book useful as a discussion starter.”
