In this vital and accessible survey, a prominent activist for racial
justice answers questions from real children, giving them the tools and
the confidence to shape a more just society.
Using questions canvassed from children around the United Kingdom as her
framework, writer, activist, engineer, and broadcaster Yassmin
Abdel-Magied provides a clear overview of racism's history, what it
looks like today, and how to recognize, resist, and disrupt racist
conversations and attitudes that can appear anywhere. This book is a
practical guide for taking actionable steps, but it acknowledges that
talking about racism invites complex feelings and offers tips and
tactics for expressing those emotions safely, stepping back when needed,
and prioritizing self-care. The book's warm and assured tone, friendly
illustrations, and supplementary charts, sidebars, infographics, and
glossary offer an authentic way to open a dialogue with middle-grade
readers, providing an eloquent call to nurture compassion and change,
challenge inequality, and strive toward racial justice for all.
