The Antiracist Kid: A Book About Identity, Justice, and Activism by Tiffany Jewell, Nicole Miles
4.0
Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for review.
I love "This Book Is Anti-Racist" by Jewell - so much that we have 100 copies in our middle school library. I wanted to read The Antiracist Kid to see how similar it was. This book for elementary kids covers a lot of the same information. More for upper elementary than younger.
Jewell does a great job with definitions, vocabulary, and having the reader dive into their own identity. I'd love for this to be required reading. But we know there are people all over the country who would flip out at the suggestion of reading a work like this. Which is really too bad.
This is a great book for groups or guidance by an adult that could help with any questions. I'm glad this material is out there. Now if people would just get to the point where this is common knowledge.
