This book is absolutely a must have in all school libraries and classrooms. I was a big proponent of Tiffany Jewell's work from This Book is Antiracist, and this book does not disappoint either. The language is incredibly accessible for kids as it tackles lots of different topics related to race, gender, activism, and relationships. I would highly, highly recommend this to all educators who are looking to address these topics in their classroom.

This book is outstanding and it needs to be in every single classroom. The reading level is accessible and the content is powerful and empowering. As our society becomes more aware of social injustices, anyone would be able to pick this book up and have any questions they have answered clearly and concisely. As a high school teacher trying to design a new course to offer on social justice in the very near future, I am almost certain that I would make this one of the main texts for the course.

I have to say I LOVED this book by Tiffany Jewell. I have followed her brilliant Instagram for years so seeing her work and words come to life was a joy. Her book is deeply informative and age appropriate for the targeted audience. It truly breaks down the heart and history of tough questions like “What is culture?” And how to talk about differences. I would not only purchase this book to discuss with middle schoolers, I am happy to know it exists for my daughter to read one day. I would point to this book for parents that want to discuss the tough topics of race and racism with their kids but do not know where to start.

I just taught Tiffany Jewell’s This Book Is Antiracist this past semester with great success. Glad to add this new book to my collection. An author and truth to be taught and shared.

This was a fantastic breakdown of important topics that children can understand. Interspersed throughout the text were three recurring "characters" who each have a different gender, ethnicity and family makeup. This helps young readers understand what they are reading when relating to a person or an example.

The graphics that were prepared were very inviting and pleasing to the eye. Some of the graphics are yet to be added but I feel that if they match what is already in place, they will also be engaging and informative. The pictures complement the text and add to the readers' overall experience.

This is an important book for anyone who works with children to share. I felt that the topics were appropriate and would bring up discussions for all ages. Highly recommended.
