A very good read. I have seen many similar picture books lately, however I felt this was the best of the bunch.

Lovely bright inclusive fun way to spark discussion.

The ideas are clear and simple, the concepts are huge. A great way to speak to a child and introduce the world that is around them whether you teach them to deal with it kindly or not.

This is a beautiful children's book about a very important topic. It very delicately and in an age appropriate way discusses many issues in relation to equality and diversity in our society today. The book is brightly coloured and attractive to children and would be perfect to have the important but sometimes difficult conversation about differences.

I was excited to see what this book had in store but wasn't impressed with the product. I find A is for Activist to be a much better book with a similar message. This one was dry.

I received an electronic copy from Quarto Publishing Group through NetGalley.
Board book
An ABC book that takes young readers through various terms that deal with justice and equality. Ewing captures the meaning of each term in language families can discuss together.
I'm not fond of the color scheme for the illustrations but appreciate the inclusivity of the humans in each.

An ABC of Equality was a perfect book for sharing with new little learners. I loved the alphabet feature and way equality in all forms was addressed. I would love to add this to my classroom.

I am so glad I requested a review copy of this on Net Galley. This book illustrates some complex topics in a way small children can grasp without sounding condescending. The art is lovely, inclusive, and colorful. It opened up some really great dialogue with my five year old and peaked his curiosity about a lot of important things. I will for sure be picking up a physical copy for my kids collection when it comes out.

This is a very colourful and powerful book. It is a very deep and powerful book that includes descriptions and illustrations for many important words in an equality field. It includes words such as: equality, feminism, gender, immigration, LGBTQIA... This book would be a great starting point for conversations with children at many ages. Very well written and a great resource for all!

*Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader's copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I received va copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Oh, how I wish there had books like this when I was growing up.

This vibrant and charming book should be required reading for all classrooms

This is such a beautiful book. It uses such simple language, paired with colourful images and explains lots of different concepts in a way that is so appealing and engaging. I will be requesting a copy for the school library ASAP.

I found this to be confusing. While I liked the topics covered, the illustrations and the fact that it's an ABC book make the book appear to be made for toddlers... but the descriptions are long and heavy - great for upper elementary kids who can comprehend what's being discussed but I think you'd lose them at the pictures/alphabet. I don't think the intended audience is clear.

This is a neat little colorful book (illustrated by Morgan) for young children written by Ewing, aimed at teaching tolerance and acceptance, and it's never too soon to learn such things. Young children in particular are far more accepting than so-called grown-ups when it comes to those who might be perceived as different, and it's only to the good to bolster those non-discriminatory perceptions. From A for ability through D for difference and E for equality, through I for immigration and J for justice to T for transgender and Y for 'Yes!', this book covers it all. I commend it as a worthy read for young children.

This is a vibrant early years A-Z that every home should own. Words have been carefully selected to represent the theme of equality and are explained in simple terms.

Chana Ginell Ewing structures An ABC of Equality around each letter of the alphabet, starting at Ability, passing Kindness, and Xenophobia, all on the path to Ze. Each layout in this vibrant picture book serves as a primer for both young and old in preparation of respectful conversations relating to complex issues such as ethnical and cultural diversity as well as class and gender. In fact, this book empowers a reader’s confident acceptance of themselves and others.

With color and bold graphics, illustrator Paulina Morgan frames this book of tolerance with whimsy in a visually pleasing and child-friendly package.

A refreshingly new take on an ABC primer, An ABC of Equality introduces children to complicated and important topics like gender, justice, privilege, and consent. Though the concepts sound weighty, they are presented in a lively, accessible, and positive manner that invites conversation between young readers and their guardians.

The bright and colorful illustrations represent children of all races, genders, and abilities and invite identification from all readers. They are clever and fun; I particularly liked the expressions and hand gestures on the “Yes” and “No” pages which help explain consent.

Any parents or guardians who want to introduce social justice concepts to young readers will benefit reading this book with their child.

An all exclusive ABC book that helps start conversations at an earlier age than ever before. Colorful and engaging, this book discusses things like the differences in (A is for) “Abilities”, the importance of respecting (N is for) “No”, etc. Absolutely want to get copies for the young ones in my family.

The concept of this book and the artwork is fantastic. There should be more books like this in the world and I appreciate that this book is out there. The only downside to it is that the language and long sentences would likely go over a young child's head. The length of the book is another concern because small children have very short attention spans.

What an adorable book! I loved it so much! I read it to my 2-year-old niece and she loved it as well! It was so much fun and I loved how inclusive it was. Will definitely be buying this one for all the children in my life!

An ABC of Equality is a book for elementary grades and above. This book hits upon all diversity and inclusion topics that people have difficulty sometimes explaining to children; however, it is a broad overview if that and only establishes these ideas and issues at their root. I think children will be left with more questions than anything else, but I guess this is good. It serves as a conversation starter. As for the illustrations, I was not a fan. The colors are incredibly bright, and so are the backgrounds. Subtler tones and more detailed drawings would be more pleasing to the eye and could add a level of depth to the book. The over-simplistic illustrations would be more appealing to toddlers than elementary grade students.

An ABC of Equality by Chana Ginelle Ewing is the kind of book I am excited to add to my shelf to share with children. This book has a lot of words that will help you explain to your young children about social justice and how to be supportive of many different kinds of people. The illustrations that go with each letter are cute and the descriptions are easy to understand for the age level.
