Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story about Racial Injustice by Ann Hazzard, Marianne Celano, Marietta Collins

challenging emotional informative inspiring slow-paced

5.0

Necessary read for young readers and their parents and caregivers. Something Happened in Our Town explores racial biases and injustices through the eyes of two children, Josh and Emma, and their family members. The story and the guided reading resources provided are beneficial to facilitating and encouraging parent-child conversations surrounding these difficult topics that are usually ignored to maintain children’s “innocence.”
