Teaching children about racism is one of the hardest and most essential things any parent or educator can do. If you’re struggling with where to start, you’re not alone. In this extraordinary moment in history, many parents on our (mostly white) staff have also been thinking and learning about how important it is not just to identify racism but also to actively teach ourselves and our children to confront our own biases and fight racism within society. Books can be a place to start these conversations, so we asked nine teachers, librarians, and booksellers—all Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)—for their reading recommendations. These are the books they have personally taught and shared, the ones they know have made an impact on kids.
