Great antiracism education for all ages

Another great book read. I think that Tiffany Jewell’s book This Book is AntiRacist should be on everyone’s reading list this summer. Written in a friendly, easily accessible way, the book is geared towards kids in elementary school & middle school, yet all ages would benefit from reading it. The book explores people’s various identities, explains racism, explains personal racism, structural racism, & leads the reader on a path to take action. It encourages the reader to respond to racism & to be antiracist. The various activities at the end of each chapter lead the reader through the steps they could implement that same day to become more antiracist. Divided into 20 chapters, the thought-provoking book will help you to be more conscious of your own place in the world & help you to better understand what the world is like for people who don’t look like you. Reading it is a fantastic way to grow as a person & reading this book will help. Thank you to NetGalley for the free copy in exchange for my unbiased review.

Great YA resource

I am so thankful I had the opportunity to review This Book is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell through NetGalley. #ThisBookIsAntiRacist #NetGalley I have been trying to listen, learn, and grow, and this was an excellent resource. This book is fantastic for teen/ya and I loved the included activities and journal prompts for personal growth. It was thought provoking and gave space to challenge yourself, racism in general, and personal prejudices. I do think that since this is aimed at the teen/ya audience there should have been more caution applied in the scenario of witnessing a police interaction, but maybe that is rooted in my own discomfort and privilege. The only other thing I wish the book had included in the vocabulary or otherwise explained was the term folx and the "need" for it in place of folks.

Powerful Read! 5 Stars.

I am very impressed with how Tiffany Jewell took such an important topic and broke it down for everyone to understand and relate to. The book is divided into 4 sections and 20 chapters to navigate the reader into understanding identity, making sense of the world, taking action against racism, and working in solidarity against racism. The different activities provided help the reader delve deeper into the topic. I would recommend this title to middle school students to adults. This is such an important and powerful book. Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for providing this text in exchange for an honest review.

An Essential Read

This book is an amazing resource and tool to dig into the work of anti-racism. Ms. Jewell breaks down concepts that may seem abstract to young readers in a relatable way. As as teacher, I feel that the lessons/activities included will be life-changing/life-saving to students. This is a title I wish I had growing up to help me understand my own privilege and the work that needs to be done to be anti-racist. This book is a GIFT for students, parents, educators and anyone, really. The illustrations by Aurelia Durand are stunning.

Incredible!

I was so excited to receive the E-Arc from netgalley for this book. I devoured it in less than 24 hours. Then I went back and reread. I am sure that I will reread again. This book is perfect for a family to do together or for preteens and teens to do on their own. Each chapter has a lesson and an activity. I did not do the activities this time through, but I will go back and do them. The book read like a conversation. I felt that Tiffany Jewel was on my couch teaching and guiding me. While there was plenty of history, it did not read like a history book. I loved how Tiffany taught us vocabulary, gave us history and then showed us ways to use what we learned. This book is incredible. If you are looking for a book to teach children about racism, this is it. 5+ stars. Excellent.
