This Book is Anti-Racist is an excellent and eye opening read. Ten copies belong on every library shelf! This book should be made as available as possible for all teens.

This is a FABULOUS resource for everyone interested in anti-racist materials. Highly recommend for everyone of all ages.

I was gifted a copy of this book from @netgalley and @QuartoPublishingGroup in exchange for an honest review. This book is out now ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a must have book for any middle grade and up classroom. The book is beautiful to look at and has much needed information. It is bright and colorful, which I think would be appealing to kids, and the information is presented in an easy to understand way without being overwhelming. I like that there are acitivies placed throughout the book to get the reader thinking about their own actions. I also loved thr positive affirmations throughout the book like, "You have the ability to create a new history." Aduots could greatly benefit from reading this book as well. It is by no means just a children's book.

I love this book. It has wonderful illustrations and really solid information. I’d like to own a physical version.

Thanks to NetGalley for an Arc in exchange for an honest review.

If you're looking for a book that not only informs but brings to light some very important topics, Tiffany Jewell's book is where it's at.

This book goes over racism, personal growth, identity, and general lessons on how to be a good person. It's the kind of positive book I needed when I was younger and I'm sure people today need to read. We're all different and differences can make us stronger. Why destroy others for their differences?

I could easily see classrooms and educational groups picking this book up. It makes learning about the topics of gender and racial differences very simple and makes understanding so easy.

My only negative about this book is the illustrations are kind of weird. Some of them sat strangely with me and I felt they creeped me out more than fit with the story. The colour is bright and amazing though. Otherwise, this book is a gem!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I am so thankful I had the opportunity to review This Book is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell through NetGalley. #ThisBookIsAntiRacist #NetGalley
I have been trying to listen, learn, and grow, and this was an excellent resource. This book is fantastic for teen/ya and I loved the included activities and journal prompts for personal growth. It was thought provoking and gave space to challenge yourself, racism in general, and personal prejudices. I do think that since this is aimed at the teen/ya audience there should have been more caution applied in the scenario of witnessing a police interaction, but maybe that is rooted in my own discomfort and privilege.
The only other thing I wish the book had included in the vocabulary or otherwise explained was the term folx and the "need" for it in place of folks.

I am very impressed with how Tiffany Jewell took such an important topic and broke it down for everyone to understand and relate to. The book is divided into 4 sections and 20 chapters to navigate the reader into understanding identity, making sense of the world, taking action against racism, and working in solidarity against racism. The different activities provided help the reader delve deeper into the topic. I would recommend this title to middle school students to adults. This is such an important and powerful book.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for providing this text in exchange for an honest review.

This books is incredible and a staple for every household. It educated me and my eldest son and will be sharing it with my youngest as he grows too.

This is a powerful and challenging non-fiction title for children and young adults. Comprising of 20 lessons that address identity, privilege, racism, responding to it and building solidarity against it. Each chapter is highly accessible with comprehensive details on the specific areas being discussed. It is clear and uncompromising with practical activities to help readers think about themselves and the world around them. I found it absorbing to read and certainly gave me a lot to think about. I have already ordered copies for libraries in my authority.

I was so excited to receive the E-Arc from netgalley for this book. I devoured it in less than 24 hours. Then I went back and reread. I am sure that I will reread again. This book is perfect for a family to do together or for preteens and teens to do on their own. Each chapter has a lesson and an activity. I did not do the activities this time through, but I will go back and do them. The book read like a conversation. I felt that Tiffany Jewel was on my couch teaching and guiding me. While there was plenty of history, it did not read like a history book. I loved how Tiffany taught us vocabulary, gave us history and then showed us ways to use what we learned. This book is incredible.

If you are looking for a book to teach children about racism, this is it. 5+ stars. Excellent.

This book is a wonderful guide for a multitudes of age range. Having these types of books published and read by as many people as possible are so important because it can really change your narrative and help you grasp the bigger picture. I thought this book was gorgeous and that the blurbs were informative, super relevant, and covered all the main topics.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC for an honest review.

A wonderful book that I feel can help all ages educate themselves and others. A colourful and interactive book!

Incredibly timely book. I will absolutely recommend this book to all teachers I know - great kid-friendly terms and way of introducing tough subjects and difficult concepts. This book provides wonderful lessons on confronting your privilege and working through dismantling the white supremacy that exists in our world. Highly recommend!!

“This Book is Anti-Racist’ by Tiffany Jewell is a book designed for older children/young adults to teach them about racism and the lessons they need to learn in order to be anti-racist but this is a book EVERYONE can benefit from reading/owning! This book blew me away - it is informative, eye-opening, challenging and educational. I believe every school needs to own copies of this. In her introduction, Tiffany Jewell writes that “This is the book I wish I’d had when I was younger...” and this is also true for me. I am 39 years of age and there was information in this book that I was not aware of and had never been taught.

I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old and, while this book is too detailed in parts to read to them and is better suited to older children, I have been able to use the concepts in some of the chapters as discussion points with them. One of the messages of the book is that we are never too young to talk about racism. I have definitely been guilty of thinking that with my children. This book has educated me that it is too big a problem to be ignored at any age and that saying you don’t see colour is a micro-aggression. “We begin to form prejudices when we are two years old. Our biases are absorbed, we take them in and they become a part of our belief system. But they can change.”

This book is set out in 20 chapters; each offering a lesson in how to be anti-racist and building on the chapter before. The book clearly explains all terms and concepts discussed; such as micro-aggressions, internalised racism, personal racism and white saviourism. Important terms are defined in the glossary or highlighted again in the pictures. Each chapter ends with an activity to further thinking and discussion around what that chapter has outlined.

I cannot recommend this book enough. The design is fantastic and the illustrations are bold, diverse, eye-catching and vibrant. It would be an important addition to any book shelf and a book that we should all pick up and dip into again and again as ‘Anti-racism is a life-long work.”

A very important resource

This book could not come at a better time. Tiffany Jewell explains racism and anti-racism, for children starting at around ten years. The book contains 20 lessons on how to wake up, take action, and do the work, which are underlined by beautiful illustrations. It explains racism very well and makes some excellent points. Throughout the book, there are exercises to work through. It refers to the US and UK mostly but is written for readers all over the world, which I highly appreciate. A great resource for classrooms and libraries, for parents of all children, and for adults as well.

This is a beautifully illustrated and brilliantly to the point book that will make children first think about and understand their levels of privilege and then start to look at what they can do to change the status quo and deal with systemic racism. It is not enough to do nothing, and this is a great starting point to try to show children what they can do and how to feel less powerless. This would be a great tool for the classroom. It's also a great tool for adults - to read, digest and think about what you should be doing in your own life.

Wow, what a great book! It presents racism in a direct but thorough way, focusing on things a wide variety of topics like institutional vs. personal racism, intersectionality, and the difference between race and ethnicity. It encourages the reader to identify and understand their own identity and gives clear ways to combat racism. I'd recommend this for children in middle school and up as some of the topics may be a bit complex for a younger audience. Though the first chapters on identity could be useful for younger children. Honestly, this would even be great for adults interested in learning about race and becoming anti-racist.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Thank you Frances Lincoln Children’s Books and NetGalley for sharing an eARC with me in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a must have in all classrooms. It is written in an accessible way that readers of all ages could gain knowledge from. What I liked the most was the openness of the author Tiffany Jewell. She shared stories of when she stayed silent and should have spoken up. She was real in her experience and her advice. I also loved the activities she recommends. I wrote them all down and plan on journaling each day on them. This is an important resource.

Beautifully presented, this book takes a proactive approach in explaining the importance of being antiracist in a way that young people can easily digest. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an ARC egalley.

This is straight to the point & no-nonsense. It is informative & relatable.

It can be accessed by all ages & would be a great resource in middle schools and older!
