Venue details:
Wychwood
Barns is a large venue, with large garage doors at both entrances that will be
kept open for full ventilation. Guests will be asked to keep masks on
during the event. The Barns is wheelchair accessible, both the entrance and
bathrooms. Guests will be able to physically distance.
You Know, Sex
In a bright graphic format featuring four dynamic middle schoolers, You
Know, Sex grounds sex education in social justice, covering not only
the big three of puberty—hormones, reproduction, and development—but also
power, pleasure, and how to be a decent human being.
Centering young people’s experiences of pressures and joy, risk and reward, and
confusion and discovery, there are chapters on body autonomy, disclosure,
stigma, harassment, pornography, trauma, masturbation, consent, boundaries and
safety in our media-saturated world, puberty and reproduction that includes
trans, non-binary, and intersex bodies and experience, and more.
Racially and ethnically diverse, inclusive of cross-disability experience, this
is a book for every kind of young person and every kind of family.
We Move Together
A bold and colorful exploration of all the ways that people navigate through
the spaces around them and a celebration of the relationships we build along
the way.We Move Together follows a mixed-ability group of kids as
they creatively negotiate everyday barriers and find joy and connection in
disability culture and community. A perfect tool for families, schools, and
libraries to facilitate conversations about disability, accessibility, social
justice and community building. Includes a kid-friendly glossary (for ages 6 –
9).
