2021 August Reading


As in the past, children continue to be faced with social unrest,  a pandemic crisis, and returning back to school after a year and a half away from their classmates. Teaching children about racism was once teaching children to not see color; however, in a way, doing so diminishes the past that built each one of us. Books provide the perfect avenue to teach children of all ages -exploration of differences, arise pride in our culture, and create a society of respect through honesty and acceptance. Check out the books below about some pressing issues and the start of school.    






All books may be found in your local school library or Amazon.


Happy Reading!
