To celebrate April’s Month of the Young Child, the University of Pittsburgh’s Positive Racial Identity Development in Early Education’s (P.R.I.D.E.) recent newsletter suggested six books for children to commemorate the month and asked early learning educators and caregivers to take part in a survey.
Survey
The P.R.I.D.E. survey asks parents, caregivers, educators, community partners, artists, or anyone who has worked with P.R.I.D.E. to provide perspectives and assess the program’s accomplishments since it was founded.
The survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. All responses will be confidential. One respondent will be chosen at random to receive a $50 gift card.
Book List
The P.R.I.D.E. program also selected six books for children to read to celebrate April’s Month of the Young Child. The list includes:
- Brown Baby Lullaby (Tameka Fryer Brown)
- Baby Young Gifted and Black (Jamia Wilson and Andrea Pippins)
- Hello Baby! (Steve Jenkins)
- Jabari Jumps (Gaia Cornwall)
- Dream Big, Little One (Vashti Harrison)
- Whose Toes Are Those? (Jabari Asim)
The University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development’s P.R.I.D.E. program was founded 10 years ago to support the positive racial identity development of Black children from birth to 8 years in the Pittsburgh region and beyond.
