I was thrilled when I saw this one so prominently displayed in the children’s section of my local library.

It is clear from the beginning that this is a teaching book. One that hopes to change the landscape of our thinking about racism. Of how we can teach children to think and have explicit conversations about race and equity.

Through beautiful, colorful illustrations and nine lessons, the author outlines those nine ways to be an antiracist baby.

I can’t emphasize enough how much this book is such a powerful teaching tool that needs to be available in all homes and libraries throughout the world!

The author provides a note to parents and caregivers at the back of the book that helps with conversation about race and racism with young children.
