This book offers caregivers excellent frameworks and tools to make this happen.” —TC Record“Derman-Sparks and Ramsey offer an ‘alternative vision’ for White identity that breaks the mold….The current status of our anti-bias work demands we read (this book) and use it well” ―From the Foreword by Carol Brunson Day“A dynamic blend of child development theory, social history, and the best pedagogical practice from two distinguished social justice educators―every teacher of young children should read it!” ― Beverly Daniel Tatum, President, Spelman College“An accessible, practical, and essential tool for every teacher of young White children.
