This book is a simple way to talk about being anti-racist. It starts with a child seeing a protest, specifically the Black Lives Matter protests from the killing of George Floyd. The child asks what’s going on why are we doing this. His parents inform him and give him some examples of people who have fought for the freedoms they have today, and they also talk about why they’re still fighting. The book includes activities and things to try after reading to become not just an anti-racist superhero but to have empathy and to feel for others, and to pay attention to what is happening around the world. The story in this book is lovely. The activities elongate the story but there’s a purpose and a need this book fills quite well.
