of course, not every book is being burned: far from it

EXCLUSIVE: Goodbye Moon! Bedtime goes woke as books like 'Antiracist Baby', 'Daddy & Dada' and 'A is for Activist' are dominating the shelves with transgender tales and scary stories of police brutality meant to 'indoctrinate' toddlers

  • A slew of 'woke' children's books is dominating book shelves with titles like 'Antiracist Baby', 'Feminist Baby', 'Woke Baby', 'Teach Your Dragon About Diversity' and 'Daddy & Dada'

  • The books, seen by DailyMail.com at book stores across the country, feature transgender infants, queer families and dreamers, but the subjects above all others are race, police brutality and activism

  • The sales of books about race exploded across all age groups last summer as protests over the death of George Floyd tore across the world

  • In the book Woke Baby! Mahogany L. Browne writes of a race struggle that starts in the crib. 'Woke Babies raise their fists in the air. Woke babies cry out for justice'

  • Introducing narratives of very young children transitioning 'risks destroying children for the rest of their lives,' says Walt Heyer, author of Trans Life Survivors

  • Author John Butcher says these ideologies have no place in children's books, telling DailyMail.com, 'All of these books are meant to drive home the message to these young children that life is about struggle'

  • 'Antiracist Baby and other books [like it] are not designed to teach basic literacy or character formation; they are designed to indoctrinate children into a specific ideology,' Christopher Rufo tells DailyMail.com

Teach Your Dragon About Diversity, sits next to 'Daddy & Dada'. Glance a few books along and you'll find, Joey, not a heartwarming tale about a baby kangaroo, but an illustrated hagiography of Joe Biden written by, 'best-selling author,' Jill Biden.

And let's not forget, 'Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice,' because what four -year-old doesn't want to hear about the Vice President's political rise? 

There are books about transgender infants, queer families and dreamers, but the subject that dominates all others, bound up in the pages of child-friendly picture books, is race – that and a dollop of police brutality and activism.
