18 More Books for Babies & Toddlers: Social Justice, Equality and Diversity

My 36 Titles for Babies & Toddlers: Social Justice, Equality, and Diversity has been extremely popular in recent weeks. If you can believe it, this list has been viewed almost 200 times a day for the past week! There have been more and more calls to action to create diverse reading experiences for kids. And what better place to start than this list? This is a perfect place to start creating an inclusive home library for the youngest of readers.

Although the list still holds up today, it’s been a year and a half since I created it. Because of this, I thought now would be a good time to provide some additional titles to create a Social Justice library for your littlest one at home! Or, if you’re looking for a book for a baby shower, check out some of these beautiful titles for something a little different from the classic Goodnight Moon.

As a result, here are 18 additional diverse board books to share with your baby! Create a well-balanced book list or library by including different cultural, religious, genders, languages, and races in your book selections.
