To change the world, we must appreciate that all of us can contribute to creating a better world, regardless of ethnicity or gender. This important message is imaginatively presented in Jenny LaRocque’s Little World Changer: Influential People Who Inspired the World. As a kindergarten teacher, she is committed to helping students develop the knowledge to succeed in an ever-changing world, yet she is aware that knowledge is only part of the responsibilities of teachers. They must also give students the confidence to tackle difficult tasks and what better way to do so than to provide role models to encourage that confidence? With its emphasis on diversity, lively illustrations, and a broad range of talented and influential models, Little World Changer should easily appeal to young readers and dedicated educators alike.
As a former educator, I admire Jenny LaRocque’s commitment to offering books such as Little World Changer on her website to help teachers learn how to approach the topic of diversity without preaching and with methods that will appeal to kids. For instance, the illustrations by Abbey Bryant are colorful and bold and truly resemble the people they represent. I also appreciated how LaRocque linked fourteen positive adjectives (or affirmations) with each influential person described in the book. For example, Frida Kahlo, the talented Mexican painter, is appropriately coupled with the word 'creative.' With such examples, a kindergartener is much more likely to remember and be inspired by them. May such inspiration lead them, as the author hopes, to become kind and influential citizens of a world that is desperately in need of them.
