About this item
Patiently forthcoming with lessons your parents redacted, this necessary conversation stresses consent, sex positivity, and the right to be curious about your body. 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. Her previous books include Divorce Is the Worst and Death Is Stupid.
About the Author
Anastasia Higginbotham is an author, artist, and activist who created the Ordinary Terrible Things children's book series which includes Divorce Is the Worst, Death Is Stupid, Tell Me About Sex, Grandma, and Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness, published by Dottir Press. Not My Idea is the only children's picture book that roots the problem of racism in whiteness and empowers white children and families to see and dismantle white supremacy. Higginbotham makes her books by hand in collage on brown grocery bag paper, using recycled materials, including jewelry and fabric. She offers workshops at schools and libraries on art, activism, and how to make meaning through collage out of whatever broken, ragged, unraveling life circumstances we face. A speechwriter for social justice organizations, Higginbotham lives her books' messages and teaches self-defense through Prepare Inc. for students of all ages. Dottir Press will publish her next book, What You Don't Know: Not a Coming-out Story, in January 2021.
