The Antiracist Kid: A Book About Identity, Justice, and Activism

by Tiffany Jewell (Author) Nicole Miles (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Book Is Anti-Racist, Tiffany Jewell, with art by Eisner-nominated illustrator Nicole Miles, The Antiracist Kid is the essential illustrated guide to antiracism for empowering the young readers in your life!

What is racism? What is antiracism? Why are both important to learn about? In this book, systemic racism and the antiracist tools to fight it are easily accessible to young readers.

In three sections, this must-have guide explains:

Identity: What it is and how it applies to you

Justice: What it is, what racism has to do with it, and how to address injustice

Activism: A how-to with resources to be the best antiracist kid you can be.

This book teaches young children the words, language, and methods to recognize racism and injustice--and what to do when they encounter it at home, at school, and in the media they watch, play, and read.

The lessons highlight youth agency, awareness, and autonomy... Adults might just learn something, too. — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

One of the most powerful questions caregivers and educators can ask themselves in the work of advancing antiracism is, "What's in my toolbox?" Tiffany Jewell's work is one of the most powerful tools in mine. And now, The Antiracist Kid is here! Jewell helps children acquire language and lenses to talk about, recognize, and analyze race and racism in their daily lives. THE liberatory tool every child, caregiver, and educator needs to help create an antiracist future. — Sonja Cherry-Paul, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Stamped (For Kids)

We often meet people who say they are interested in becoming anti-racists and others who are seeking information that can help them understand the most challenging issue facing our country: systemic racism. We now have another great book to recommend: Tiffany Jewell's The Antiracist Kid is timely and an essential primer not only for young readers, but for all of us. — Wade Hudson and Cheryl Willis Hudson, editors of the New York Times Best Children's Book of the Year The Talk: Conversations about Race, Love, and Truth
