Say No to Racism - part 3

by Maia

Hey y'all! This month’s column is about good books that you can read to teach you more about racism. They can give you more facts on certain circumstances that involve racism and BLM, as well as just another point of view and narration on the topic. The books can all be different formats, like picture books or chapter books, fiction or nonfiction, yet they all teach you the same basic lesson. BLM, and be anti-racist. I hope you decide to check some of these out and if you find one you like feel free to add it, or any book related to racism that you enjoyed, into the google form linked at the bottom.
