Kid's Non-Fiction

Racism is a big topic. How did it start? What does it look like today? And how can we stand up and speak out against it? Using questions gathered from young people as her framework, writer, engineer, and broadcaster Yassmin Abdel-Magied gives clear context to contemporary racism and shows how to recognize, resist, and disrupt racist conversations and attitudes. Her friendly, assured tone destigmatizes any feelings readers might have, while illustrations and infographics from Aleesha Nandhra provide a fresh way to approach this complex issue. People today aren't responsible for the actions of those in the past, but we can all find ways to act responsibly now-and work toward racial justice for everyone!
