A KID'S GUIDE

How do you explain slavery to children without fear, guilt, or confusion?

​

A Children’s Guide to Slavery is a thoughtfully written, age-appropriate introduction to one of the most difficult chapters in human history. Designed for parents, grandparents, and educators, this book explains what slavery was, why it happened, how it ended, and—most importantly—what lessons we can learn today about freedom, character, and human dignity.

​

Inside this book, children will learn:

• What slavery was and how it existed in many parts of the world

• Why slavery was wrong—and always has been

• How slavery ended in the United States

• The role of courage, faith, and leadership in ending injustice

• Why judging people by character matters more than judging by history

Written in clear, simple language and supported by engaging illustrations, A Children’s Guide to Slavery is meant to open conversations—not shut them down—and to help families discuss history with honesty, compassion, and confidence.

​

Perfect for:

• Parents who want to teach history responsibly

• Homeschool and classroom discussions

• Families looking for an educational, non-divisive approach to history

History should teach—not frighten.

Truth should unite—not divide.

​

And children deserve explanations that build understanding, not resentment
