We Stand With Ukraine:
One Equals Many
We Stand With Ukraine: One Equals Many is a special edition of the book, One Equals Many.
The author, Sonny Dean, and the publisher, Little Lambda Books, are donating all profits from this book to United Nations Crisis Relief Ukraine.
Seeing the unspeakable horror of the invasion of Ukraine, many of us feel helpless and struggle with how to explain it all to the children in our lives. We at Little Lambda Books believe strongly that every single one of us can do our part to help, by calling our elected officials and urging action, raising money for relief efforts, fighting disinformation, and voting into power those who will do the right thing. It is more important than ever to realize the power we have together and remember that one vote can truly change the world.
Jean and the Vaccine
Jean and the Vaccine makes the experience of vaccination easier for kids.
It can be tough for kids to understand why their grownups are subjecting them to an injection. And it can be hard for grownups to explain why vaccines are necessary and how they work.
Factual and scientifically accurate, this book breaks down the basics of vaccination to give kids a better understanding through a fun, age-appropriate story. Jean learns what to expect when she gets her injection, how it works to protect her, and why she needs it. With this knowledge she can bravely do her part to protect herself, her family and friends, and her community.
Assumptions
This simple yet powerful book focuses on the harmful gender roles that threaten to keep our kids from achieving their true potential. Presented in a powerfully sparse format of real statements from adults and replies from kids, this book provides comfort to those who bristle against unfair and limiting assumptions. Intended to spark conversations from pre-K to high school, this book helps kids explore the harm in others' assumptions and how standing up for your true self can make the world a better place for all.
