I would love to hear how people who are feel about this book!) This book encourages children to define themselves and to stand strong. It explains to Black children that they belong and even when they hear hurtful words to "Gather your strength and March on".
This book belongs in every library.

The parents explain senarios, to the child, where they may be treated unfairly and cruely.
While this book is meant for a POC audience, parents of all races can use it to teach children empathy.

#BlackHistoryMonth

The book starts off showing the life a small child who is part of a very loving family. As the child grows, their parents become aware that they are beginning to look like an adult and worry they will be subjected to sterotypes and racisim.

This means going to board meeting to show the library board that the library need books that relate to your family, same sex parents, incarcerated parents etc. This means buying the books to support d&i authors. We have the power here!
