Race & Social Justice for Kids
 As protests over the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and persistent systemic racism and violence in America continue it is still on all of us, especially non-Black and white Americans to read and educate ourselves. We know that it can be hard to find where to start when discussing race with children, so we’ve curated a list of wonderful children’s books, from Picture Books to YA, to help start the conversation. By starting to educate your children about race and racism early, you help to ensure that they can help change this country for the better now and when they’re older. |

The Day You Begin There will be times when you walk into a room There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it’s how you look or talk, or where you’re from; maybe it’s what you eat, or something just as random. It’s not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Jacqueline Woodson’s lyrical text and Rafael López’s dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway. a
