This book belongs in every library.
The principle on the second day of Kwanzaa is Kujichaguli, self-determination.
I felt this book encompasses this principle in a way children can understand and relate to. (I am not Black.
The parents explain senarios, to the child, where they may be treated unfairly and cruely.
While this book is meant for a POC audience, parents of all races can use it to teach children empathy.

The book starts off showing the life a small child who is part of a very loving family. As the child grows, their parents become aware that they are beginning to look like an adult and worry they will be subjected to sterotypes and racisim.

This means going to board meeting to show the library board that the library need books that relate to your family, same sex parents, incarcerated parents etc. This means buying the books to support d&i authors. We have the power here!

Right now we need to make sure diverse books stay on the bookshelves of our local libraries. This may mean donating banned books because the library can't order them.

Hazel did apologize because she was embarrassed by how her children would view her.

While most websites say this book is for ages 9 and up, I think younger readers would learn from this book. They may need an adult to read with them to explain the history and explain that not everyone was as successful as the family in this story.
