Why read it?

1 author picked A Kids Book About Racism as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I honestly think the entire series of A Kids Book About should be encouraged for all children as well as parents.

This one about racism is a fantastic way to introduce the topic so that awareness is considered from early stages of development. While we live in an open-minded, diverse community in New York, our child will undoubtedly face this social ill at some point in his life, directly or indirectly. We want him to be informed and prepared, as best possible.
