A Kids Book about Systemic Racism -- Jordan Thierry, Hardcover

Help kids understand the complexities of systemic racism.

This is a kids' book about systemic racism. It was made to help kids understand what systemic racism is and how it's built into laws, schools, stories, and other institutions in a way that collectively makes life much harder for people of color.

This book was made to help kids aged 5-9 understand what systemic racism is and what it means in people's lives. Systemic racism is incredibly difficult to understand - even for grown-ups! - but it isn't always obvious, which is what makes it so hard to see.

A Kids Book About Systemic Racism features:

• A large and bold, yet minimalist font design that allows kids freedom to imagine themselves in the words on the pages.
• A friendly, approachable, empowering, and child-appropriate tone throughout.
• An incredible and diverse group of authors in the series who are experts or have first-hand experience of the topic.
