"picture books on racism/police brutality" (etc.)

Email I just got to send 14 HBS faculty:

Thanks to everyone for your time this morning.

I’ll clean up the notes from the meeting and work with [M.] on a Doodle poll for 45-minute tours of his online course.

In the meantime, while we were settling in, [F.] had mentioned struggling to explain to her 7-year-old that the people who are supposed to protect us aren’t, and I had offered to share some picture book recommendations.

In the chat, [A.] shared A Kids Book About Racism (https://akidsbookabout.com/products/a-kids-book-about-racism) and I shared Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice (https://www.apa.org/pubs/magination/441B228).

A friend had recently posted to Facebook crowdsourcing for “useful, honest books about race in the United States for different age cohorts” and someone linked to this GoogleDoc of books for kids ages 0-12 in a bunch of topical categories (including “Police Brutality/Racist Attacks/Black Lives Matter/Incarceration”): https://docs.google.com/document/d/15H1nzEIbC53OojvsLnlxM2zGYktooOGlOFMZ9xO74zk/mobilebasic
