Children's books to support conversations about racism, antiracism and promote greater understanding

6/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Children are naturally curious about the world around them.  Books for young children can provide a context for more complex ideas and help them make sense of the world.
If you and your child are ready to talk about racism and white privilege, picture books can be a springboard for greater understanding and conversations. 
While most of the books below are specifically chosen to discuss racism and antiracism with young children, the Lanpher Library also has many books in our collection that do not focus directly on racism, but will still raise awareness and give children exposure to diversity and promote inclusion.  Books with characters who are representative of racial diversity, but whose stories are relatable to the feelings, hopes, curiosities and experiences of all children are plentiful in the Lanpher Library as well. 
We also have many picture book biographies about famous men and women of color, historical picture books, and more.
Please contact us, or search our catalog for more great selections:lanpherlibrary.kohavt.org  [email protected] 
Below are pictures of book covers that are either in the Lanpher Library collection and available to borrow, or have been ordered/pre-ordered and will be available soon.  If you have a library card with us, you can place a hold to reserve any of these titles by going to lanpherlibrary.kohavt.org, log in to your account, and reserve.  If you need help logging in, please contact us:  [email protected]
You may also search the Library Catalog for books for adults on racism, antiracism, white privilege, civil rights movement, biographies, and more.  Please feel welcome to contact us if you don't know where to start, or just need some guidance.  [email protected] 
With Care, -Amy
