Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story about Racial Injustice | Marianne Celano, Marietta Collins, Ann Hazzard

Pickpick

This picture book about a police shooting is intended to teach kids ages 4-8 about racial bias. It‘s written by a psychologist and has extremely extensive parent/teacher resources at the end to guide discussion. It has topped banned and challenged book lists several years due to fears that it will lead children to mistrust police. #BBRCPictureBookLetterS @LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan I just got this one in from ILL. I have checked it out a few times, but have not been able to bring myself to read them yet. 2y
IndoorDame @LibrarianRyan it has really smart modern artwork! The writing sounded at times to me a little too much like it was written by a white child psychologist, but I definitely thought it was well done, and a resource people need. 2y
