Brown Boy by Daphnie Glenn
Some of the topics brought up in this book can be uncomfortable to talk about, and I appreciate this book even more for bringing them up and creating a bridge to have those discussions.
There are even resources at the end of the book, and I appreciate those.
I highly recommend this book for parents of all colors wanting to have a conversation with their young children about the way society treats their brown boys. And everyone else that doesn't want to as well, because maybe it'll open your eyes a bit more.
