I welcome this new edition of Anti-Bias Education for Young Children and Ourselves because we are still learning exactly how to support all children and families. This book is a master class on our professional responsibilities to lead issues of identity, diversity, justice, and activism. -Valora Washington, CEO, Council for Professional Recognition

Every early childhood educator needs to read this book. And we probably need to re-read it every year. Let's talk about it with our colleagues. Let's put it into practice. It is our professional responsibility to internalize the content and bring it to life every single day. -Megan Pamela Ruth Madison, Trainer, Center for Racial Justice in Education & New York Early Childhood Professional Development Institute

This book urges us to examine how we're creating equitable and anti-bias educational experiences for young children. From cover to cover, it features voices from the field, real classroom scenarios, and resources that propel us towards action! -Tonia Durden, Clinical Associate Professor, Georgia State University
