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

A moving illustrated biography of the late Joe Delaney, an NFL star
in the making who valued helping others above all else On the
football field, Joe Delaney possessed all the qualities of a great
running back. He was fast with keen instincts, a burst of red and
gold as he sprinted toward the end zone for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Off the field, he embodied the qualities of a great person:
generous, hard-working, humble, and honest. Helping people was
simply second nature to Joe. In 1983, on a summer's day in
Louisiana, Joe Delaney gave his life trying to save three children
from drowning in a pond. While others stood by, Joe didn't hesitate
before rushing into the water, though he was not a strong swimmer
himself. Now, football fans of all teams honor his legacy as an
extraordinarily brave young man who cared fiercely for his
community. Written with the support of the Delaney family,
Heroic Heart is a lushly illustrated, lyrical story of selflessness
and courage. Adults and children alike will learn about the
remarkable life of this compassionate NFL star.
