Cynthia Changyit Levin cared deeply about global poverty and hunger even before becoming a parent. But mothering her own children toughened her resolve to stand up for her values and work to become a better world for all kids. In this inspirational book "From Changing Diapers to Changing the World: Why Moms Make Great Advocates and How to Get Started," Levin offers step-by-step instructions on how to be an effective advocate, even while juggling diapers and naps. She shows how advocacy can take many forms, from phone calls and letters to fundraising and speaking in the halls of Congress. With warmth and humor, she demystifies the process of connecting with government officials, weaving in uplifting stories of mothers who have taken successful action on causes important to them. Besides improving the lives of others, mom-advocates also serve as great role models for their children, setting an example of grit and good character. With their talents, persistence, and passion for helping others, mothers can inspire action to solve community and global problems...and become the change they want to see in the world.

This book was born in the Amka Space for Women's Creativity hosted by the Goethe Institut in Nairobi where the two authors, Peter and Isabell, met. It was inspired by an article in The Guardian called "Changing the world instead of changing diapers' which argued that we are spending too much time and energy on our own personal happiness and the education of our kids while the world is ending in ecological disaster and social conflict."In this book, Peter and Isabell are showing based on their own life stories that you can change the world while changing diapers and that the very act of educating a child or responding to education becomes an act of changing the world as it answers fundamental questions about new life and death, trust and fear, power and rebellion."

In his book, Changing Minds, Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner explains what happens during the course of changing a mind – and offers ways to influence that process. Remember that we don’t change our minds overnight, it happens in gradual stages that can be powerfully influenced along the way.
