Navigating parenthood has become increasingly challenging. From tragic incidents involving police violence to the political targeting of transgender youth, and the alarming rise in anti-Asian violence, parents have their hands full.
In response to these pressing issues, author Kim Nguyen has created a children’s book titled A Kids Book About Anti-Asian Hate. This resource, available for free download, aims to address the growing racism and hostility faced by the Asian community. The initiative, provided by the organization A Kids Book About, offers valuable tools for both parents and children to engage in meaningful conversations and take action against these injustices.
Nguyen, whose family immigrated from Vietnam, resides in the San Francisco Bay Area and draws from her personal experiences to inform her writing. The book is accessible in multiple formats, ensuring that kids can read it on various e-reading platforms including iOS and Kindle Fire, or as a printable PDF.
Additionally, the publisher encourages readers to explore the nonprofit Stop AAPI Hate, which was established to combat the surge in xenophobic rhetoric, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Kids Book About is committed to fostering discussions around critical topics. Their collection includes collaborations with the nonprofit GenderCool, designed to help caregivers address gender equality and inclusivity with children. Upcoming titles, such as A Kids Book About Immigration, tackle tough questions about the complexities of immigration, reminding readers of our shared humanity regardless of our backgrounds.
The series also covers a wide range of topics including racism, belonging, creativity, empathy, and more. For younger children, the A Little Book About series simplifies these concepts in an engaging manner. For example, A Little Book About Family emphasizes the diverse forms of family and the joy found in belonging.
Parents looking to further these discussions within their communities can host reading events, complete with conversation starters to facilitate dialogue between adults and children.
