The dialogue focuses on the dynamics of sex, rather than the mechanics, as Grandma reminds readers that sex is not marriage or reproduction, and doesn't look the same for everyone. Instead, each person's sexuality is their very own to discover, explore, and share if they choose. Anastasia Higginbotham's tell stories of children navigating trouble with their senses on alert and their souls intact.

It's a book about what schools get wrong and churches don't say; but institutions are made by people and the people are evolving. It's a book about being known and cherished by family, and living in communion with your own personal Jesus, Buddha, Spirit, Source, Father, Mother, God, breath, inner space, outer space, nothingness, and however else we name and relate to our divinity and humility in the presence of all we don't know.]]></description><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7656167</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7656167</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Higginbotham, Anastasia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7656167038</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Story of Liberated Childhood</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781948340298/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What You Don't Know]]></title><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7726148</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7726148</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Higginbotham, Anastasia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7726148038</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Story of Liberated Childhood</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781948340434/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not My Idea]]></title><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7726139</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C7726139</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Higginbotham, Anastasia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7726139038</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Book About Whiteness</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781948340373/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not My Idea]]></title><description><![CDATA[A white child sees a TV news report of a white police officer shooting and killing a black man.

But mortality doesn't seem better, it seems stupid. This forthright exploration of grief and mourning recognizes the anger, confusion, and fear that we feel about death. Necessary, beautiful, and ultimately reassuring, Death Is Stupid is an invaluable tool for discussing death, but also the possibilities for celebrating life and love. The Ordinary Terrible Things Series shows children who navigate trouble with their senses on alert and their souls intact. In these stories of common childhood crises, help may come from family, counselors, teachers, or dreams-but crucially, it's the children themselves who find their way to cope and grow.]]></description><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C4918009</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C4918009</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Higginbotham, Anastasia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4918009038</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781558619258/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Divorce Is the Worst]]></title><description><![CDATA[A lovingly crafted picture book speaking to the child's perspective on divorce.

Brings to the table a variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently, and ending rape. Yes Means Yes has radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests, encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it, and ultimately, that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished.]]></description><link>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C9997648</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C9997648</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9997648038</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Visions of Female Sexual Power &amp; A World Without Rape</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781580058988/MC.GIF&amp;client=vancp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
