Cannot recommend this

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

Nothing in it about being kind, nothing about how to do things together or play together with all races. No catchy phrases such as “love one another” or “be ye kind”. Does not show HOW to be anti racist as a child or showing any examples as adults. Wasted my $8.99, I wanted to be able to recommend this book to others but cannot.

This book is poison

The concepts in this book are just as prejudice as what it claims to be against. The diction in this book is hardly suitable for children and preach radical ideologies.

This book was one of the worst books I have read. If I was going to write a book about racism I would have words of being kind and loving others. I would not recommend this.

Doesn't show how to be antiracist

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Really just bad. I don't need my toddler to understand the term, "antiracist," but rather to learn to love and respect people who don't look like him. This book doesn't get at any of that. It doesn't actually provide examples or explanations about HOW kids can be antiracist. It doesn't engage a child (or adult) in a story or emotional appeal. On top of it all, this book is also poorly written. Can't believe it was on backorder.

Racism disguised as “anti racism”

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020

As a mother of biracial children I am all about inclusion, but this book is a true abomination. It pounds many controversial claims and is way above the intellectual capabilities of their targeted audience. It is truly indoctrination at its root. I wouldn’t read this to any child.

You gotta use yo’ brain.

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love this book. It fills a hole in children’s literature and I love the conversations it is going to start with my 3 year old son. Looking forward to reading it to my 7 month old too.

Some of the lower star reviews talk about a few things I want to push back on:
1. How the book needs to have a “love everybody” and “play with everybody” message. Those books exist already, y’all. And they are not anti-racist. This book is trying to do something different. See the page about colorblindness.
2. That the language is too advanced and the ideas are too complicated for kids. This lays groundwork for powerful conversations with our kiddos. Neutrality, policy, access, diverse, cultural, transcend... all great words for our kiddos (AND US!) to know. This is not a book you can read and put down without engaging in some convos.

I applaud Ibram X. Kendi for venturing into kid lit with this book. Also, I know he has a daughter and I love how he honors her on the cover. What a powerful message for her as she gets older. ❤️

NOT FOR CHILDREN

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book should be marketed as a how to guide for parents to raise antiracist babies, NOT as a children's book. The concepts such as policy, neutrality, color-blindness etc etc are WAY over small children's head, and will leave them confused as hell. My five year old grandson barely understood any of it and I spent more time explaining concepts he was previously unaware of, like policy making, than actually enjoying a book. It is absolutely not appropriate for young children as it lays too much burden on their innocence. Children need to have a good general understanding of race, and racism, already for this to make much sense at all. There are much better options.

Not very engaging for kids

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020

Not really a book written to engage and explain to children. We had such high hopes for this book but unfortunately were let down. The read through isn’t smooth rhythmic the way little tikes need to stay engaged.

Waited for ages but it’s awful! It’s like a bad power point presentation! A board book should be for babies but this is for god knows who! Also written badly, grammar is odd.

Waited ages so excited for this but its poor. Its like a badly written poem. Imagined a story where there were examples of racism that small children could understand but this was not it. Nice images but thats all really. Its a shame as it was a good idea

Not age appropriate language

Reviewed in Canada on September 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

This author seems to know nothing about babies and toddlers. He has written board book for babies with phrases such as, “...to make society transform”; “point at policies as the problem, not people”; “policies don't always grant equal access” and on and on.
Money refunded.

Too many words not in a 2yr Olds vocabulary

Reviewed in Canada on August 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had hoped this book would use simpler language to explain the amazing ideas from How To Be An Antiracist by the same author, but the language is definitely not toddler-friendly. My 2.5 year old did not enjoy this book, and honestly I'm disappointed myself.

So disappointing

Reviewed in Canada on September 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

Waste of money, so much hype. I waited for so long and wanted to love this book. Not sure why it’s a board book when it’s not geared towards babies/toddlers at all. It could of been done so much better. So disappointing. Illustrations were also borderline horrendous.

I had such high hopes. I ended up giving it away.
