This week’s episode of Story Effect promotes children’s books and coloring books with black protagonists and/or that encourage discussions about race. As parents add books to their children’s bookshelves, it’s important to include stories with diverse casts. From board books to coloring books, these six choices promote positive messages and push conversations about a need for equality, giving parents an opportunity to teach children how to continually work at being antiracist.
