A Is for All the Things You Are

In the bustling halls of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, ABC bursts into a vibrant mosaic—A stands for Authenticity, inviting a child to ask, “What makes me uniquely me?” while Z shines for Zeal, urging, “How will I stand up for fairness when I see someone treated unjustly?” From B for Bravery—“When did you speak up for a friend?”—to M for Mindfulness—“How do you notice someone who needs help?” this joyful board book paints twenty-six traits with bold, colorful illustrations and thoughtful questions that spark young minds to explore their own healthy racial identity and the joy of human diversity. Developed by museum educators, each playful prompt blends Racial Justice, Education Equity, and a sense of Justice into daily life: kids learn that empathy feels like a shared heartbeat and that inclusion blooms when every voice finds room to grow. Simple enough for toddlers and rich enough for first graders, this ABC guide empowers families, teachers, and faith groups to cultivate character and courage at every turn.
