This is much, much better than similar books, but it is still vague and shallow. It also insists, as so many books do, that Baby should push back against all boundaries and take what is theirs. Without any context to ground this, it's a terrible message, because babies do not, in fact, thrive in the absence of boundaries. I know what the author's point is, but the book is too vague and general to send a real message. It just checks off the boxes for key buzz words and concepts that adults want to see in a picture book.

I don't love the title, and it doesn't entirely fit the content. These are empowering phrases to teach and repeat with children. I don't think that's what "woke" really means, even though these phrases are designed to prevent a child from learning or accepting discrimination of any kind. It's also a lot of content for a board book, so I'm not sure how to categorize this one. But I'm glad it exists, and I hope it helps parents to build their children's confidence and boundaries.
