Woke drivel

"Heather wonders why woke leftists smear red paint on her stores while simultaneously promoting their radical nonsense. The decline of the west in illustrated form. A great gift to any of your friends in China, India, and Russia."

"everyone needs this book. but starting with our kids is a good start !"

Jessi C. (5/5)

Teaching all ages to be antiracist

"I loved the book How to be an antiracist but wondered how it might translate into a childrens' book. The unmistakable message of love and acceptance shone throughl"

Bhooma B. (5/5)

Perfect for all families!

"If you understand the importance of discussions of race with your child but are unsure how to explain it at their level this is perfect"

M N. (5/5)

Great

"Look this book to help us unlearn and relearn to be antiracist"

Simone (5/5)

Nice concept, terrible execution

"This is, quite simply, not a children's book. The language is not appropriate for ages 0-2 as marketed. Even the concept is all wrong for young kids ie: “point at policies not people”, how is that at a 0-2 year old’s level? There’s not much else to say, this isn’t in any way a baby book"

Elizabeth (1/5)

People don't get it. . .

"I've seen quite a few negative reviews about this book and how ""it's not for babies. "" People don't get it, it's not necessarily for babies, but their parents. In a world filled with privilege, this book is a great start for PARENTS to start their anti-racism journey and start adopting some of the actions and languages that are suggested in this book so they can pass on the values, attitudes and behaviors to their babies/children. Buy it!"

Hana (5/5)

Great book for kids on anti-racisn

"Love this book, fantastic for kids to learn about anti-racism especially as kids tend to learn about colour and race at a young age. Would highly recommend"

Samy (5/5)

Not suitable for kids

"Cute idea and concept, we received this book as a gift and it was wayyyy to much for a baby and the illustrations were not child friendly. The concept is good, but not child friendly at all."
