As someone deeply invested in creating a more just and equal world, "Everyday Action, Everyday Change" has been a beacon of guidance and encouragement. The authors, Natalie and Naomi Evans, present a powerful and inspiring guide that addresses the daunting task of fighting against prejudice and racism.
One of the standout aspects of this book is its emphasis on small actions that wield a significant impact. It demystifies the process of creating change, showing that every individual, through consistent and thoughtful actions, can contribute to a fairer society. The authors delve into various forms of discrimination, providing practical tips and actionable steps to combat them.
A key feature is the inclusion of strategies for maintaining a positive mindset and self-care amidst the challenges. This is vital as it acknowledges the emotional toll that advocacy for change can take and offers ways to navigate it effectively.

By imparting knowledge and motivation, "Everyday Action, Everyday Change" is a must-read for anyone seeking to make a difference in the world, one step at a time.
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 have just read this childrens book by the founders of Everyday Racism on Instagram Natalie and Naomi Evans.
In my opinion this is a great book that will start children off on the right track in being a good person and an ally.
They will learn about prejudice and discrimination, being Anti-Racist, Sexism, Feminism, Homophobia, LGBTQ+ rights, Transphobia, Ableism, Classism, Colonialism, Islamophobia, Racism, Sinophobia, white privilege, white supremacy and Intersectionality.
There are different daily thought provoking activities and tips on how to deal with some challenging situations and conversations.
This is a book I'm going to be referring back to with my youngest. The info is short, sharp and to the point but covers some difficult subjects in a plain and easy to read and understand format.
This is a book that I think should be in all schools. I certainly wish it was when I was in school.
But I'm am glad that I have this to share with my children now.
