Trust Kids! weaves together essays, interviews, poems, and artwork from scholars, activists, and artists about our relationships with children in all areas of our lives.The contributors of Trust Kids! write from different backgrounds, genders, ages, and sexualities and combine past lineages with more recent child-rearing ideas to offer a fresh, inspiring perspective. Many works on parenting and families wind up re-inscribing hierarchies by declaring how kids should be liberated. Trust Kids! insists on youth autonomy, listening to youth, and questioning adult supremacy on every page. At the heart of the book are conversations about all the ways that children can be included, loved, and cared for in more generative, just, and egalitarian ways. Its essays explore the liberatory potential of consent and autonomy in relationships among children, youth, and the adults in their lives. They also trace how oppressive attitudes toward children, far from being \"natural\" forms of kinship with the youngest members of our families and communities, have identifiable social and historical roots.

With five boys in the house, I've spent hours culling book lists and shelves for the best books for boys.

Some are dog-eared and worn, reflecting the places they've traveled on trips, in the car and in backpacks. My boys still perk up about favorite books and each son has begun his own
