Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash The Kyriarchy

Choose Your Adventure

This February we’re igniting a spark of compassion in our kids by getting honest about how the world really is – and what an amazing place it could be…

…IF we can resist false urgency and other nonsense that distracts us from dismantling injustice from the roots up.

With you,

I really want to thank you for the work you do compiling thoughtful book recommendations. There really isn't anything else like it on the internet.

I've been following Books For Littles since my little was born, and realized that I should be supporting the excellent work you do. There are so many books I would not have discovered had it not been for you.
