This book does a phenomenal job of explaining how power and privilege affect us from birth, and how we can educate ourselves...Not My Idea is an incredibly important book, one that we should all be using as a catalyst for our anti-racist education.

Quite frankly, the first book I’ve seen that provides an honest explanation for kids about the state of race in America today.
—ELIZABETH BIRD, librarian
A much-needed title that provides a strong foundation for critical discussions of white people and racism, particularly for young audiences. Recommended for all collections.

A necessary children's book about whiteness, white supremacy, and resistance… Important, accessible, needed.

A timely story that addresses racism, civic responsibility, and the concept of whiteness.
