I have read the adult book, listened to the podcast but was looking for a way to bring really big ideas and concepts to my classroom. This was a great addition to the collection of how to be an Anti-Racist suite. It provided easy to access activities and explanations and my students were able to engage with many of the stories. I highly recommend to teachers and parents wanting to help their young people navigate the culture wars. Thanks to the authors, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC I’m exchange for an honest review
Cute arts and crafts ideas for kids with good messages on inclusion and acceptance. The crafts look easy to teach/ do. And would be appropriate for kids 5+
This is a very cool book! I will recommend this to our art teacher, but I also think these would be awesome projects to accompany writing pieces, particularly the ones centered around identity.
I love this book and the idea behind it. The art projects go from very simple to more complex with step by step illustrations. A project can be as simple as a persons name and adding things that interest them like sports, foods etc. Drawing a map of your neighborhood to learn about community. There are simple definitions for words like race, racism, culture, identity, community etc. I will be sure share this with my schools art teacher before my temporary ARC expires. Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group, Quarry and Netgalley, I am leaving a voluntary review.
I personally loved the way this book uses art activities as a way to educate and inform about racism, and bring awareness of the issues to the forefront. As an author and illustrator, the power of words and visual expression are infinite and a good way to explore feelings and judgements. I loved the diversity of activity types, the clear definitions, and the positive mindset the book itself projects with the use of bright colours which are always associated with optimism.
This book is truly such a great idea! Not only are the illustrations gorgeous, but the whole premise is something more adults should get behind. Teach them young! Exploring things like identity, culture, community, empathy, justice, + activism and pairing them with a kid friendly activity makes learning all the more impactful as well as fun.
