We Care: A First Conversation About Justice

By: Megan Madison, Jessica Ralli

Narrated by: N'Jameh Camara

Based on the research that race, gender, justice, and other important topics should be discussed with toddlers on up, this read-aloud 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 topic-driven audiobook offers clear, concrete language to introduce the concept of justice. This audiobook aims to ground the idea of justice within the responsibilities and benefits of being part of a healthy community.

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.

These audiobooks offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult.
