The Talk: Conversations About Race, Love & Truth

"Many children get “the talk” from their parents, but which talk you get depends on who you are. In this collection, 30 authors and illustrators of varying races and ethnicities share the conversations they have with their own kids. These discussions don’t deal in false platitudes or falser reassurances. Instead, talks about race, identity, self-esteem, prejudice and injustice are doled out alongside advice and open dialogue. It’s the kind of book that respects the intelligence of the young readers living through the protests and marches of 2020. Practical information, relevant as ever. (For ages 10 to 16)"
