Little Feminist Book Club Ages 0-2 December 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!

On the back of the welcome page is this month’s activity, which is “Role Play Time.” It discusses the benefits of role-playing through situations with your kids and gives some ideas for scenarios to play through with them. This is actually something we already do with our children: “what do you say and do if a kid doesn’t want to give you a turn?” Or “what should you do if you want to give someone a hug but they don’t want to?” It’s helpful!

Sticker Sheet

Little Feminist designed and included these stickers as a little ray of joy for the last month of the year. I love them! They are so bright and cheerful. My kids liked them too!

We are Little Feminists: Hair – Retail value $8

We received a “We Are Little Feminists” book about getting around in October, and I’m happy to see another book from the same series! This one is all about hair and the different kinds of hair and lets kids see a variety of hair textures, colors, and styles. It has lots of positive language and happy pictures! I love how these books create an opportunity for kids to ask questions and realize that we are all similar regardless of outward differences. And beyond that, they learn that hair can do all sorts of things and that people can use it to express themselves with how they style it.

Yo! Yes! by Chris Raschka – Retail value $7.99

This book shows a friendship forming through facial expressions and body language, with very few/no words shared between the two characters. It demonstrates that communicating with someone – including someone who may feel left out – or making a friend doesn’t have to be complicated. When reading this with my son, I pointed to each boy and asked what he thought he was feeling or trying to communicate and it was a good exercise in noticing and interpreting body language.

Discussion Question Cards

Each book comes with a discussion card that gives you questions you can ask your little reader about the books. These cards are excellent because they promote discussions about lessons we learned in the books 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, “Can you find hair like yours in the book? Use words from the book to describe your hair.,” “Our skin and hair come in many different colors (tones). Is anyone’s skin exactly the same?” and “How do the kids in the book talk to each other without words?,” and “How do you show a friend you want to play?”

Verdict: This is my fifth shipment from Little Feminist Book Club! I look forward to getting this subscription because we have really enjoyed the books and reach for them frequently. I also appreciate that Little Feminist focuses on showcasing diversity and highlighting people who don’t all look like my family – that my kids might not see or meet regularly (especially, unfortunately, in 2020 when we’re just not really going places or seeing people). 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.
