★☆☆☆☆
NOT FOR CHILDREN
This book should be marketed as a how to guide for parents to raise antiracist babies, NOT as a children's book. The concepts such as policy, neutrality, color-blindness etc etc are WAY over small children's head, and will leave them confused as hell. My five year old grandson barely understood any of it and I spent more time explaining concepts he was previously unaware of, like policy making, than actually enjoying a book. It is absolutely not appropriate for young children as it lays too much burden on their innocence. Children need to have a good general understanding of race, and racism, already for this to make much sense at all. There are much better options.
