by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi, 2020
This book is so important and so gether. “Drinking “this book down quickly like a refreshing glass of water, I realized how thirsty I was for a simple but comprehensive explanation of racism ; how it developed and what we can do. Racism is now of pandemic proportions and poisons every one of us. It is ingrained in our everyday lives from birth. Jason Reynold’s humor, compassion and devotion to his young readers are evident as he teaches how to recognize racist thoughts and stamp them out. He insists that it’s not a history book, but you will come away knowing and understanding history better. With parental support I recommend for 5th grade and up through seniors citizens. It would be especially powerful for a family or group to share and discuss. SP 6/9/20
