“How can caregivers and educators best guide children to and through picture books with positive racial representations? How can we also support kids in resisting or reading against racist content? These tips draw on the Whole Book Approach (WBA, which I created in association with The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art) and other resources to highlight how picture books can provoke meaningful, transformative conversations between children and adults that embrace race.”
Great ideas and additional links here! I hope you find something helpful or ideas to pass on to others. Take care! Becky

I don’t remember any books like this when I was growing up, just my poor father trying to explain why he was refusing to read Br’er Rabbit to my brother and me, who couldn’t grasp what he was talking about.

Children’s books have come so far… For all of the time it took to get these wonderful new stories out there, it gives me hope that the newest generations will indeed be better about race than any who preceded them…
