If you are looking for a book to help explain unconscious bias to anyone this is the book to do it.

It’s an easy read that skillfully illustrates racial discrimination in modern-day America while also being a great and engaging story.

I really loved how the author made Alix and Kelley perfect examples of how most people are unable to see their own faults/biases within themselves but can easily call them out in someone else. 

I’m so glad Emira is able to find her voice and strength while surrounded by so much white noise (pun intended).


Super glad I gave this title a listen on Libby!
