Everyday Action, Everyday Change: A children's guide to understanding and stopping prejudice and racism

Good book for youngsters to understand racism and prejudice

It is really interesting to see the world from a totally different viewpoint, and to have explanations and remedies put forward in a graphic and descriptive way. Having worked in a very multicultural world in a major university, I appreciated the variety but not the personal experience. I think the computer world from the mid-1960s when I entered it, has always been a little in advance in its workforce.But it gained me a look of great surprise from my granddaughter when I told her about it, “I didn’t think you would read that.” I need to recount some history, because much is said today that is rather more fiction or opinion than fact.It is a worthy and necessary primer, though I would have preferred it not to have embraced some of the fads of the age and given probably more credence to them than they deserve.Hats off to the authors for their care and their book.

This is a book by 2 British sisters of mixed race, both of whom have experienced racism and other prejudices, with one being dyslexic, which wasn't picked up at school, unfortunately. They could have ended up being negative but instead, they decided to try to make a change for the better.This is a decent book with 'good' examples of prejudices and explanations of words such as ableism, racism, empowerment, gender, pronouns, segregation and more. It's a good read for anyone who'd like to be a more aware, better person.

This book is an amazing read for any aspiring Changemaker out there. Inside there’s a lot of information, empowring text and advice on social action for anyone interested in making a difference to the issues of racism, homophobia, misogyny and inequality. It really drives you and gets you amped to make a difference. It’s written in a really engaging and interesting way too, very visual and fun whilst carrying important messages. A brilliant read 5/5
