The teachings of anti whiteism. I hated white people most of my life. Having my child and getting this book I've realized I don't want my ze/zer to grow up in a hateful world like the one I created for zer. I've realized now white people are not why I can't get ahead and it's been my laziness and self oppression causing it all. Thank you anti racist baby book
Great book!!!

I love this book and will read it to all my babies from a young age. It’s so important to instill anti-racism from the start. I love the extra part in the back of the book that helps you continue the conversation as well! It’s very educational and perfect for all ages.

Great book to start open dialogues about race with your kiddos. Colorblind ideology and avoidance of these necessary discussions simply perpetuate the racial divide. Our future depends on forging a new generation of kind, empathic, knowledgeable, and critical thinking people.
Good Pick!

This book is wonderful. It has great pictures and explains a complex thing very easily; that to be anti-racist means you see everyone as equally good, keep an open mind to hearing others voices, and keep trying and learning to be better at expressing this. No race is ever mentioned by name and no picture contains imagery of just one race (if it shows people in the illustrations). This allows no one race to look better than others (which makes me think other reviewers simply read the title and never opened this book).
Propaganda starter book

I can’t believe that this is for children and babies. These complicated, subjective concepts are way too complex for anyone who isn’t an adult. While I believe it’s important to teach your child to treat others with kindness and respect, this book, that introduces confusing adult issues, is basically a how-to guide to prejudge others; discriminate people based on skin color alone; and go through life resentful, jaded, and always a victim of some perpetrator. Kids have enough to deal with; let them become jaded on their own as an adult like the rest of us. Don’t put that anxiety and burden on them intentionally. Seems like a great way to raise a pessimistic, unhappy child. Terrible book. Terrible for babies, terrible for adults, terrible for society.
Great book!

Thank you Ibram for creating this book! Gosh simple yet complex steps for both adults and kids to work through in the journey to be anti racist! Before taking the perspectives of any reviewers - read it yourself. If you feel uncomfortable check in with yourself and ask why.

All the people rating this book poorly clearly are fragile white people who are unaware of their privilege. This book has a wonderful message behind it and is so important for us to teach our children what others may feel and experience based solely on their race, something they have no control over.
Child friendly book about being antiracist.

This book may make MANY uncomfortable which means there is room for growth. Nothing in this book is offensive. My little girl recently turned two and I know that is my responsibility to teach her about racism. It’s not always an easy conversation but it’s an important one. This book will help do just that. I highly recommend.
A future classic representing the times

We love this book. A great way to stay the conversation early with my kids. Recommend “How To Be Antiracist”, also by Ibram X. Kendi for adults.
Loved it

The reviews complaining I don’t believe actually read the book or care to put their ego aside to see the message. I read this to my kids last night and asked them if they understood it fully. The answer was no because they don’t know what the racism is. So I went through the book and pointed out different people and words in the book that related. Some people don’t like women simply when seeing the hijab. Skin colors. When they speak different languages. And re explained the whole book. Very educational. It also speaks on policies and sometimes people aren’t bad but policies are.

It is difficult to cope with why books like these are needed, but obviously we are still far from where we need to be as a society. Our children give me hope.
Very dissapointed and sad...

Whatever happened to just teaching our kids to be kind to one another instead of raising them with this kind of biased message that will definitely hurt rather than help. Very disappointed that Target has added books such as these for our toddlers and taken away quality classic books that teach good values and morals.

Unlike other reviewers who think it “promotes white guilt” (which doesn’t exist btw) we find this book to be highly recommended on how to address racism with your child.

Great message, but resonates with adults more. There is even a page encouraging to look at policies that promote systematic racism. I don't disagree but the concept is way over my kiddo's head.
Would buy again!
