The perfect primer for kids ages 8-12, A Child's Introduction to
Pride celebrates love, hope, equality, and progress by taking an
inspirational and essential look at the rich history and culture of
the LGBTQIA+ community in the United States and around the world.
The history of the LGBTQIA+ community has often been overlooked,
but it's one that is filled with heroes, struggles, triumph, and
joy. A Child's Introduction to Pride is full of remarkable stories
of groundbreaking events and inspirational people, featuring
profiles of dozens of queer icons from various time periods and
walks of life. Young readers will meet members of the community who
have made big contributions to politics-like Harvey Milk and Marsha
P. Johnson-as well as important people from the worlds of sports,
music, literature, dance, science, and more. Kids will also be
introduced to key terms like "gender" and "identity" while learning
about the importance of coming out and what it means to be a good
ally. In addition to learning about the history of the LGBTQIA+
rights movement, A Child's Introduction to Pride offers a
kid-friendly guide to understanding pronouns and intersectionality,
as well as explorations of "gayborhoods," and a pull-out poster
with a timeline of important events from ancient times to the
modern era. Featuring charming illustrations and a lively design
that honors the vibrancy and inclusive nature of the wide-ranging
LGBTQIA+ community, A Child's Introduction to Pride is a
celebration of a movement that readers of all ages will love.

Imbokodo: Women Who Shape Us is a groundbreaking series of books
which introduces you to the powerful stories of South African women
who have all made their mark and cleared a path for women and
girls. These books recognise, acknowledge and honour our heroines
and elders from the past and the present. South African women are
silent no more on the roles that we have played in advancing our
lives as artists, storytellers, writers, politicians and
educationists. The title 'Imbokodo' was been chosen as it is a Zulu
word that means "rock" and is often used in the saying 'Wathint'
Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo!', which means "You Strike a Women, You
Strike a Rock!" These books were made possible with the support of
Biblionef and funding from the National Arts Council. In 10
Extraordinary Leaders, Activists & Protesters you will read
about women who fought against colonialism and oppression. Here are
the stories of women heroes through history, whose stories are
connected because of a shared passion for equality and justice.

A New York Times Bestseller! Who was at the forefront of women's
right to vote? We know a few famous names, like Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what about so many others from
diverse backgrounds--black, Asian, Latinx, Native American, and
more--who helped lead the fight for suffrage? On the hundredth
anniversary of the historic win for women's rights, it's time to
celebrate the names and stories of the women whose stories have yet
to be told. Gorgeous portraits accompany biographies of such fierce
but forgotten women as Yankton Dakota Sioux writer and advocate
Zitkala-Sa, Mary Eliza Church Terrell, who cofounded the National
Association of Colored Women (NACW), and Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, who,
at just sixteen years old, helped lead the biggest parade in
history to promote the cause of suffrage. Finish the Fight! will
fit alongside important collections that tell the full story of
America's fiercest women.
