Its for everyone who wants to instill a sense of open-minded inclusivity in their kids, and those who want to discuss difference instead of shying away from tough questions.

Review "Asika debuts with a powerful take on an attentive, thoughtful, and anti-racist parenting philosophy that supports childrens empathy and addresses painful realities head-on. Asikas openness and wide range of sources (she cites psychologists, journalists, and friends) provide the groundwork to build conscious communication skills, and she makes a strong case that honest dialogue and a sense of affirmation are key to raising children who are prepared to create a better future. This is a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone looking to raise kinder children." -- Publishers Weekly Review Quote Asika debuts with a powerful take on an attentive, thoughtful, and anti-racist parenting philosophy that supports childrens empathy and addresses painful realities head-on.
