![]() ![]() We hope you check out some of these books, and please feel free to pass this list on to anyone who might be interested! Furthermore, since our work involves supporting dads, almost all of the books below feature African American (or Canadian) dads and their children. On that note, our recommendations feature a mix of books specifically geared towards educating children about African American history and racism, and books about every day life. Think: Ezra Keats’ “The Snowy Day,” which features an African American boy and his adventures in the snow. It’s important for African American children to see themselves in books outside of anti-racism and African American history books, and it’s important for non-African American children as well. ![]() While we understand and acknowledge the importance of these types of books, we understand that it’s also important to read books about African American children and adults in every day situations, not only in books that specifically discuss race or African American history. ![]() To help, many news outlets and blogs have been publishing lists of children’s book recommendations to help introduce and explain racism and African American history to children. Those of us with children may be trying to figure out a way to talk to our children about race, if we haven’t yet had this conversation. Race and racism has been a topic at the forefront of most people’s thoughts recently, especially in the light of the protests following George Floyd’s tragic death. ![]()
