What It's About: This book is a 'remix' of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning that's intended for younger audiences.
It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited.
Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative written by beloved award-winner Jason Reynolds, this book shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas--and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.

A great list of books that all sound interesting – I have read none of them! I do have Hamnet on my shelves and I plan to read that one soon.
I just finished Hamnet and really enjoyed it. I hope you like it too! :)
Great list! The Splendid & the Vile has the wrong picture 😊
oh! thank you for letting me know, much appreciated! :)
The Girl with the Louding Voice is on its way as we speak. I can’t wait to read this book. I haven’t read any of the others but several are on my TBR. Great list!
Thank you, happy reading! :)
