Please see below for book recommendations from EmbraceRace, which shared the following in a recent email: "We're sharing a few book resources because it's all too obvious that we need them today as much as ever. Books are one of many tools adults can use to raise kids who are thoughtful, informed and brave about race. But it takes more than simply reading the books with kids to do this work. These archived webinars and action guides are less about which specific books to read and more about how to choose and how to read the books you choose with children in ways that invite productive conversations about race and difference."
