Little Feminist Book Club Ages 0-3 September 2020 Review
I received this welcome sheet introducing this month's books. They go over a few details about the books and how you can share your thoughts with them after reading the book with your little ones! This month's book gently addresses sibling rivalry, which is definitely something we deal with every day with three children.
On the back of the welcome page is this month's activity which is "Acknowledge Emotions." Here they give you some ideas on how you can acknowledge your children's emotions and show them that you're listening and care about their feelings

Baby Play by Skye Silver - Retail Value $6.99
This board book features high contrast black and white photos and a wide variety of babies and families! The book goes through different activities that parents and children love to do together. I appreciated that everything in it is possible for children with different abilities like playing, swinging, clapping, and dancing. It's a cute book that promotes bonding and my 11-month-old has enjoyed looking at all the babies in the pictures!

You and Me by Rebecca Kai Dotlich - Retail Value $9.99 (found here for $3.39)
This book shows a boy adjusting to his baby brother, and how a new sibling can spur a sense of competition. By the end of the book, the baby is asleep and then it's finally "you and me time!" for the mom and older son. This book definitely tugged at my heartstrings (I have a 5-year-old, 3-year-old, and 11-month-old), and it shows how much of a balancing act it is to try to give everyone the attention they need. I do like how it felt like a book for me as a mom, too, encouraging me to make sure I fit in "you and me time" with each kid on their own. It's a very sweet book and the illustrations are really warm and detailed.

Discussion Question Cards
Each book comes with a discussion question card that gives you questions you can ask your little reader about the books. These cards are great because they continue the discussion from lessons that we learned in the book or things we have seen in the stories. It also allows your little one to really think and for you to learn a bit more about what they might be thinking at the time. This month's questions ask things like, "what do you like to do together?", "what are ways you are changing and growing?", and "what do you like to do with your grown-up when it's 'time for you and me'?"
Verdict: This is my second shipment from Little Feminist Book Club! So far I think it's a very exciting book subscription. My kids are 5, 3, and almost 1 year and they all love to read and listen to our storytimes before bed. I love that Little Feminist focuses on showing diversity while also highlighting people who don't look like us that my kids might not be exposed to regularly (especially, unfortunately, at this point in time in 2020). I think that the price might seem a bit high for two board books, but I personally see value in giving my kids a special literary treat each month, and also in having Little Feminist do the work to source diverse and empowering books for us.
