Description:
<p><strong>Being an ally is about learning and action. It's a constant, ongoing willingness to engage in the hard, confronting work of standing alongside those who don't have the same privileges.</strong></p>
<p>As a young person, it can be difficult to take a stand for others when the need to fit in is so strong. But everyone can be an ally. Learn to acknowledge the privileges you have based on your identity, the difference between allyship and being a performative ally and how to address mistakes when we make them. In this book, young readers will work through realistic scenarios that show allyship in action and develop tools to become the best allies they can be. </p><p><strong>Key Selling Points</strong></p>
<ul><li>Introduces young readers to allyship, what it means and what it looks like, and gives them practical, age-appropriate tools to be better allies.</li>
<li>Includes key definitions, realistic scenarios that display messy situations young people may encounter, and reflection questions and activities that could be helpful to individuals and in the classroom.</li>
<li>Discusses topical themes including SEL, self-awareness, social justice, bullying, othering, oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and privilege.</li>
<li>The gentle, non-judgmental voice is meant to guide and invite discussion and reflection on allyship rather than lecture or talk down to young people.</li>
<li>Includes colorful and vibrant illustrations throughout to bring the scenarios to life.</li>
<li>Tanya is a teacher and award-winning YA author. She identifies as a queer woman of color and says her relationship to allyship is strong and ever-evolving. She prioritizes decolonization and anti-oppressive practices in her classroom, as well as in her role as the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) Lead at her school.</li>
