Boulder Educators Read Aloud Social Justice Stories

Teachers and GUB Youth Leaders throughout Boulder have recorded their favorite picture books, including those that are culturally responsive in some way. We believe that conversations with kids that explicitly address race, gender, equity, and social justice should start early and continue throughout their lives in order to encourage inclusion and equity. We hope these book recordings will help support such conversations.  Check out Growing Up Boulder's YouTube channel for a complete set of our recordings!
