If you’ve seen my activity book, The Fashion Fix, you’ll know I’m passionate about incorporating sustainability into my clothing choices whilst my mindfulness books, BElieve in YOUrself and Be More You, provide a science-led approach to mindfulness. So it’s not going to surprise anyone that one of my mantras is how making lots of these small changes all add up. And today, I’m excited to be sharing an an educational/ activity book on this theme that I REALLY wish I’d written: Everyday Action, Everyday Change by Natalie and Naomi Evans published by Hachette. This book focuses on helping readers identify and address racism and prejudice, and it’s both absolutely brilliant and (sadly) still very necessary.

The challenge with a book like this which tackles big, important topics (race, religion, gender, equality/ equity, sexual orientation) is to make it fun and non-preachy. Mission accomplished. As well as addressing each topic clearly and fairly, there are questions to ask yourself, a handy glossary at the end, and useful links to further reference materials.

This is a must have for every home, and every school library. I’m going to finish with a quote from the end of the book: 

“We are so proud of you for reading this book, for thinking about and writing down the everyday action plans and for doing the everyday mindsets, and we are so proud of you for being YOU! And remember,ber: be compassionate and kind to others, be kind to yourself, be OK with getting things wrong and keep learning from others, especially those who have different lived experiences to you. Together we can all be CHANGEMAKERS.”
