about a little boy with a big imagination who learns that you can't
know anyone just by looking at them. Set in a bustling city, and
full of a family love that binds even in difficult circumstances.
Milo is on a train journey through the city with his older sister,
looking at the faces of the other passengers and drawing pictures
of their lives. Milo wonders if perhaps the little boy in bright
white trainers is living in a castle with a moat and a butler. But
when the little boy gets off at the same stop and joins the same
queue as him, Milo realises that you can't judge by appearances and
that we are all more alike than we are different: both boys are
visiting their mothers in prison. Matt de la Pena and Christian
Robinson once again deliver a hugely powerful and enjoyable picture
book, full of rich details both to look at and to talk about.
Anyone who has ever travelled on public transport will relate to

Race Cars is a children's book about white privilege created to
help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about
race, privilege and oppression. Written by a clinical social worker
and child therapist with experience in anti-bias training and
edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars tells the story of 2 best
friends, a white car and a black car, that have different
experiences and face different rules while entering the same race.
Filled with bright, attention-grabbing illustrations, a notes and
activities section at the back helps parents, guardians and
teachers further discuss these issues with children. Why is this
book important? As early as 6 months old, a baby's brain can notice
race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalise racial
bias and start assigning meaning to race; and 5- to 8-year-olds
begin to place value judgments on similarities and differences. By
age 12, children have a complete set of stereotypes about every
racial, ethnic and religious group in society. Our guidance is
especially crucial during this impressionable time. Race Cars
offers a simple, yet powerful, way to introduce these complicated
themes to our children and is a valuable addition to classroom and
home libraries. "... a great tool for helping young people
understand structural racial inequality-and the importance of
challenging it!" - Margaret A. Hagerman, Associate Professor of
Sociology, Author of White Kids: Growing Up with Privilege in a
Racially Divided America "... can jumpstart important conversations
with children about racism, white privilege, and how to fight
racial injustice in their own lives." - Marianne Celano, New York
Times bestselling co-author of Something Happened in Our Town: A
Child's Story About Racial Injustice
