About this audiobook

Based on the research that race, gender, justice, and other important topics should be discussed with toddlers on up, the First Conversations series offers adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way.

Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism, this collection of eight topic-driven audiobooks offers clear, concrete language that young children can grasp and adults can leverage for further discussion.

While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it’s hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice.

All eight audiobooks in the First Conversations Audio Collection offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult.
