Synopsis

The book, Talking to Kids About Race: An Introductory Guide to Supporting Healthy Ethnic-Racial Identity Development in Early Childhood, is a must-read for parents, caregivers, early childhood educators, and anyone who interacts with young children. This book (TTKAR) not only explains why talking to young children about race in early childhood is important, but it also tells readers how to begin. The concept of race can be difficult for young children to understand. Still, research shows that talking to kids about race at an early age positively contributes to their personal identity development. This second edition incorporates additional content based on Dr. Eddie's research. The mix of developmental theory, practical tools, and experiential activities included in TTKAR will leave the reader feeling equipped to begin facilitating conversations with children that demystify race and promote inclusive mindsets. Piper Adonya's engaging illustrations display a beautiful diversity of skin tones and physical features, bringing the content to life and further supporting conversations with young children about race.
