Even if you are not interested in #picturebooks, this one is worth seeking out if only for its thoughtful, practical, and very useful discussion guide for adults (parents, teachers, any trusted adult) to carry out conversations about race, racism, violence, and change-making, whether that dialogue happens in school or at home.

One thing I really appreciate about this #picturebook is that it not only honors the victims of police brutality, but also those killed by vigilantes and white supremacists. The book also honors the memory of the five police officers shot and killed in downtown Dallas.

pickThis lovely #picturebook written by #MichaelWWaters and illustrated by #KeishaMorris would make a thoughtful, age-appropriate introduction to talking with children about the killing of unarmed Black people in the United States. The book even has a useful conversation guide by the #MuhammadAli Center. A necessary read about an important issue.
