Befriend Discomfort

from Black Mama, White Mama Hosted by Black Mama, White Mama

When Jennifer attempted to talk to her kids about Martin Luther King, Jr., she tripped over her words. How do we talk to children about tough topics in a meaningful way? And how should we discuss historical events without repeating racist narratives? She and Monika "befriend discomfort" to try to figure that out. Books mentioned: We're Different, We're the Same by Bobbi Jane Kates (Random House) Happy in Our Skin by Fran Manushkin (Candlewick) The Colors of Us by Karen Katz (Square Fish)
