Revolutionary Love for Early Childhood Classrooms

by Gloria Boutte, Nathaniel Bryant, Kamania Wynter-Hoyt

In this timely, trailblazing book, three teacher educators show how to create environments that nurture young Black children’s brilliance. Their “revolutionary love” approach helps early childhood educators take practical steps to counteract the negative impacts of systemic racism on children’s academic, social, and emotional development.
 
The authors provide powerful ideas to ensure the wellbeing of all children—from creating safe and joyful play spaces to honoring African American Language to integrating Black culture and history into lessons and across the curriculum. By organizing each chapter according to their “Believe-Know-Do” framework, they not only show teachers how to implement ideas, but also why implementing them is critical to the success and happiness of their students.
