"It's easier to build strong children than repair broken men and
women. This book provides an incredible opportunity for parents and
guardians to start important conversations early on." - Guvna B,
rapper, author and broadcaster
"Books like this are essential, the more children are comfortable
talking about race the less barriers there will be between us.". -
Naomi and Natalie from Everydayracism
Do you want to raise anti-racist children? Do you long to learn but are
too scared of saying or doing the wrong thing?
Then Talking to Children about Race is for you.
But before we start talking to our children, we must start chatting
honestly with one another.
Broadcaster Loretta Andrews and the educator Ruth Hill had been friends
for years before the shocking death of George Floyd made it impossible
not to dig deeper into the topic of race and how to explain racism to
their children.
Drawing on the very real conversations that ensued, this book invites
you into the dialogue to better equip you to bring up anti-racist
children.
With warmth and approachability, the authors provide a history of race
and explore white privilege, unconscious bias and systematic racism.
They offer practical tips, ideas and activities to help you to educate,
empower and raise anti-racist children today.
"Loretta and Ruth have given us a treasure: a non-judgemental,
open-hearted manual on ways to tackle the subject of race with our
little ones." - Sarah Clarke (Disastersofathirtysomething):
"What I love the most is that you are part of change - a lasting
change tribe. Ruth and Loretta have not only used their platform but
their honest voices in sharing their experiences and research to be the
conversation opener for children and families on anti-racism." - Dina

"This is an incredibly helpful and well-written guide that I will go
back to time and time again throughout raising my son!" - Emma

"I really wanted to skim through this book, picking out little nuggets
of wisdom, but paragraph after paragraph, chapter after chapter, I was
engrossed!!" - Nana-Adwoa Mbeutcha, Co-Founder of Black Mums Upfront
