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
