Queenie’s Crew engages children in learning about building communities of care without prisons or policing.
Every month, members receive an email with an activity that kids can complete to learn more about abolition: We’ll share activities like coloring pages, word searches, word scrambles, mazes, and reflection exercises. Using readings and art projects, we support children in imagining a collective future where we are all free.
Queenie’s Crew Activity Book
Born out of the book See You Soon by Mariame Kaba and Bianca Diaz, Queenie’s Crew has been a program of Project NIA from March 2021 through December 2023, with more than 400 caregivers, educators, and organizers engaged in working with children on learning to build communities of care without prisons or policing. Every month, we worked with artists and organizers on activities to support children’s learning about prison abolition. This activity book compiles the activities we created and shared during that time.
See You Soon: The Book
Queenie is the main character of See You Soon, a poignant, beautifully illustrated story of a little girl’s worries when her Mama goes to jail, and the love that bridges the distance between them. See You Soon is written by New York Times Bestselling Author Mariame Kaba and illustrated by Bianca Diaz.
