Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Alice Vachss" <>]

The American Library Association publishes a number of lists of recommended books for young readers, broken down into age groups and topics. I think the list that sounds closest to what you've described is The Amelia Bloomer Book List (inspired by a picture book about a dozen years ago called "You forgot your skirt, Amelia Bloomer!). I'll try to enclose a link but it's a long one so in case it does not work, searching for ALA and Amelia Bloomer should get you here:

Hey all -

Our Women's Center is starting a Read and Feed program with the local community.  This program is focused on teaching about social justice to children.  Part of this will include bringing children's books addressing or modeling social justice, i.e. female leads, different family systems, and a variety of cultures/ethnicities, etc.

Can anyone recommend age appropriate books dealing with these SJ issues, and even specifically related to bystander interventions and/or violence prevention?

Thanks so much!
