What is Privilege?’ is an ABC book designed specifically for grown-ups and children to read together. We want to inspire little minds to make big changes! As you read through the book, you will encounter important social issues and societal concepts, such as privilege, bias, marginalized communities, oppression, and many other themes. We’ve taken these grown-up topics and broken them down so they can be easily understood by children!

Anti-racist work means:
- acknowledging that racist beliefs and structures are pervasive in all aspects of our lives
- learning the history of racism to educate yourself about the issues you'll be confronting.
- actively doing work to tear down those beliefs and structures

” I gave this book 5 stars because it takes a complex topic and makes it simple to introduce to children. It is also helpful for anyone who simply isn’t informed about the topic of privilege, even adults. It can be used to discuss anything from disabilities to racial equality. I love the idea of using this as social studies curriculum, especially when current events are being discussed.”

” I purchased this book while the co-author was still discussing it. The challenging content, simple layout, and additional resources are great for people of all cultures and ages. This is a great book to start powerful conversations. I will be using this book with adult learners. “

” The brilliance of this book is that it’s crafted as a learning journey for young readers and adults alike. Each entry in the ABCs of privilege carries a QR code that is a portal into a deep rabbit hole of further reading for all levels of reader, which provides adults with a generous library of texts to support not only their own journeys but also those of the young ones whose journeys they are entrusted with guiding. “

” This is a wonderful book for learning about privilege, not just for children but for adults as well! Every household and classroom needs a copy. The topics contained within the book aren’t always easy to talk about but the authors break it down in a way that allows both adults and children to make a meaningful connection between the subject matter and their own behavior. It transforms it from a foreign concept for those of us privileged enough to not already understand into something that can be used as a tool to transform behavior. “

” While the authors present some basic facts, the content is creatively designed to present a platform and questions for discussion, wonder, and awareness. Open the book, wonder together, listen to life from another perspective and begin to wonder, really wonder, what privilege is. May we all become kinder, more compassionate, and supportive of individuals from all walks of life. “

” This is a wonderful book for opening discussions about multiple important social issues. I’d like to see every school utilize this resource to improve our country and the world. It is a powerful resource for positive change! “
