Three picture books for starting early conversations

This boxed set brings together three First Conversations titles: *Our Skin* on race, *Being You* on gender, and *Yes! No!* on consent. The books use clear, concrete language and interactive text to introduce these subjects to young children, with illustrations accompanying each discussion. Each volume also includes back matter with resources and ideas for extending conversations, giving adults material to continue exploring the topics beyond the read-aloud. The set’s shared purpose is to help adults open discussions about subjects that can be difficult to know how to approach.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families introducing conversations about race, gender, and consent with young children.
  • Teachers seeking read-aloud picture books on these three topics.
  • Adults who want discussion resources alongside child-focused text.

Book overview

Based on the research that race, gender, consent, 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.

This boxed set of three First Conversations books is perfect for families and teachers looking for topic-driven books that offer clear, concrete language and compelling imagery to introduce the concepts of race, gender, and consent.

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 and self-esteem, allowing them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These titles offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the back matter in each book offers additional resources and ideas for extending discussions.

Includes three hardcover picture books:
  • Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race
  • Being You: A First Conversation About Gender
  • Yes! No!: A First Conversation About Consent
