Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy
by Emmanuel Acho
I absolutely love this project that Acho has embarked on, and I love that he is presenting these conversations in so many modalities (YouTube videos, podcasts, books for adults and children). His videos and books have started conversations for me with coworkers and friends on many of the subjects he presents. Acho has really made me evaluate the ways in which I am standing up as an ally, and how I can continue to improve. This particular book is geared towards middle grade readers, and I think that at times the text may be a bit complex for the intended age group. However, I would still highly recommend this one (knowing that kids may need a bit of support at times both with the content and with the complexity of text). Acho supplies a great list of resources (books, movies, videos, etc.) that kids can turn to if they want to expand their knowledge on racism and allyship. One of the other huge strengths of the book is that Acho provides kids with immediate actions they can take to be an ally.
