This book should be placed on every single shelf of every single classroom. Tiffany Jewell has done it again, providing a comprehensive introduction into the vernacular, the history, and the intention behind what it means to become an anti racist. This is a book that doesn't have to be read chronologically, as teachers can jump around through the variety of topics that best fits the needs of their learners on a particular day or in a certain moment. Graphic novel style imagery hooks in the youngest learners, but the empowering messages will get them to stay. I couldn't recommend this highly enough!

Clear and straightforward. Meant for kids ages 7-10, and breaks down vocabulary with easy-to-comprehend examples by using three kids (Shawn, Ruby, and Dani) as models.

The book starts out focusing on identity, before moving into justice and activism. By layering the knowledge in this way, it helps young readers really connect and comprehend what it means to be anti-racist.

Also a great book for adults who struggle to articulate these ideas.

Loved it! So much for my kids to learn, we will be reading it a lot in the future. It opened up the opportunity for great conversations. Highly recommend.

This books is a great way to introduce kids to the concept of being antiracist. Jewell lays things out in an easy-to-understand format that isn't overwhelming, making the book ideal for a wide range of ages. The artwork is adorable, big concepts are explained in a no-nonsense way, and there are little prompts throughout to get kids thinking and beginning to start their own activism in small steps. I can see this being a book for families and kids to return to regularly, especially when talking about issues that might come up at school or in the news.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a copy for review.

I think this book is a must have for all library's, it covers such a wide range of topics in a simple and understandable way. Some of the topics covered include stereotypes, gender pronouns, activism, race, class, socio-economic status. This book goes far beyond the title it has, it also encourages so much self acceptance and for children to feel their voice should be valued.

"The Antiracist Kid" by Tiffany Jewell is an essential addition to every school and public library. Jewell breaks down important concepts like identity, bias, justice, and antiracism in terms that kids can understand. "The Antiracist Kid" belongs in every classroom.

I am so glad this book exists. I will absolutely be buying a physical copy of this book when it is released, there are so many people in both my personal and work life who will benefit from this.

The book is clear, concise and accessible. It does a beautiful job of clearly explaining all the terms and language that comes when talking about race, gender, sexuality, prejudice, discrimination and so much more. This is a truly intersectiomal book and a perfect guide to any child (or adult!) who is looking to learn the basics of antiracist work.

Thanks to Netgalley for the free ARC of this book in return for an honest review

ANTIRACIST KID contains clear definitions and terms, useful historical events/timelines, and helpful resources, along with assistive chapter summaries and questions for reflection and discussion. The inclusion of how to connect patterns/behaviors, confronting stereotypes, invitations to somatic and mindfulness reflections, as well as how to repair with self and others, are not only considerate, but woven deeply throughout the text. The tone of the text is both realistic and encouraging/hopeful and the illustrations are inviting and helpful in illuminating the words.

I really look forward to the release of this book because I will be buying a print copy to have at home. The author uses really clear, plain language to explain some topics that people have trouble understanding. In fact, I think that even adults would benefit from reading this book - even if you already understand the concepts of identity, justice and activism - because it provides really straightforward language to understand and talk about it.

Because I reviewed an ARC I didn't get get to see all the artwork but what is there is lovely. Also I think there may be some room for some tightening up on a bit of repetition but again, this is a really early ARC so I'm sure much of that will be addressed.

My 11 year old son read the book with me and he also said he found it really clear and easy to understand.

I loved this books so much for young readers. I will definitely be purchasing a hard copy upon publication. Jewell does a phenomenal job of breaking down complex topics into terms that young readers can not only understand, but take action on. I loved the summaries, the definitions, the examples. It was all very accessible.

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.

An important text from an iconic author. This book is a beautiful blend of text and pictures to help kids understand race, racism, and how to become changemakers.

I really enjoyed this book, which is an adaptation for younger kids of This Book Is Antiracist.” If you’ve read that book, this one will feel very familiar. The information in this book is written at a lower reading level and has simpler sentences that I think kids could easily remember. I appreciated the statements throughout that normalized a wide variety of experiences. This book definitely would be challenged by people in a school district near me because it tells the truth about racism and the systems that maintain it. (It also includes very diverse casting of characters in race, gender, family style,, sexual orientation, pronouns, and other aspects of identity.) The book includes such important information, presented in a very engaging manner, and I hope that all children get to read this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing the eARC for review.

This is a great introduction to complicated topics like race and prejudice for middle-grade readers and their parents and teachers. I loved the content of the book, which was written in a very approachable and understandable way, although I did find the writing style a bit simplistic and dry. Still, I would incorporate this into a curriculum for elementary school students and I think it will be a very helpful resource for children and their families when approaching these topics.

Must read! As an educator, this book should be a requirement for all upper elementary and middle school classrooms and libraries. This book covers heavy and important topics in a light and relatable way for students to engage with. I loved how the book promotes follow up discussions for during and after reading by prosing questions of the reader. Many thanks to Clarion Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

This is an amazing and informative book geared towards middle-grade readers!! It explained some really important topics and I can't wait to have something like this on my future children's bookshelves.

A fun and engaging primer for middle grades. It covers heavy topics such a racism and identity in a light and approachable way, easily accessible information for youth. Really loved the illustrations throughout!

The concept of this book is a brilliant one. I requested it to read to you children in an attempt to explain to them some of the issues of today. This book is so informative and brilliantly explained. I would recommend this book for children over 12. I have a 9 year old and a 7 year old and although they understood the concept, they found the way it was told boring but I think this is purely because of their age. It would be a good reference for them for when they get older and they can understand it a bit more. O would definitely recommend this book.

This book would be excellent for middle school aged kids, and it would also be perfect for parents to read along with them. There are so many great points that could facilitate some important discussions, as well as some sections that I could see kids having further questions about. And I know I learned a lot myself while reading it, so it could be helpful for parents as well!

There is so much good information in this book! I really liked the pages that had more graphics and sectioned off parts to break up the text. I know kids will be drawn to those parts more than some of the pages with bigger blocks of text, which can feel a little textbook-y, so having an adult to guide them through those parts would be beneficial.

I especially liked the characters that were included in the book- each section includes their experiences and feelings about the particular topic. Hearing about the perspective of different kinds of kids helps young readers relate to and connect with the information in a fun way!

I would recommend this empowering and informative book to all families with kids 5th grade and older!

This is a fabulously informative book to not only being antiracist but also discrimination and segregation & understanding innate privilege that many people don't understand they are born with based on the colour of their skin & where they were born. This book was the perfect book to read with my nearly 10 year old about racism & inequality in our world. I loved the text bubbles, that included definitions, basic history, examples of what the main text was explaining, and all in a way that made it easy for the young audience to absorb the information. I loved that the book asks questions of the reader, it encourages discussions & further research. This book should be added to every library, school, & home library.
