A picture's worth a thousand words. And this boxed set of five board books, featuring photographs of real people, sends a message about the importance of respecting others and embracing our differences. Each book covers a distinct theme--Hair, Families, Celebrations, How We Eat, and On-the-Go--with an emphasis on representation and inclusivity. The photos--which feel intimate and joy-filled, as if you've been granted access to strangers' private albums--depict kids and parents of many races, LGBTQ families (including a trans man who's pregnant, prompting curious questions from my 9-year-old), children with disabilities, and various ceremonies and faiths practiced throughout the world. The books are recommended for infants through 5-year-olds, and there are age-appropriate questions at the end to help prompt discussions about the material. It will likely be a while until my 2-year-old fully understands some of the bigger issues at play, but for now, I can confirm that these books have surpassed her other board books to become her new favorites. - Wirecutter Gift Guide, New York Times
