{"product_id":"race-cars","title":"Race Cars","description":"Race Cars is a children’s book about white privilege created to help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about race, privilege and oppression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by a clinical social worker and child therapist with experience in anti-bias training and edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars tells the story of 2 best friends, a white car and a black car, that have different experiences and face different rules while entering the same race.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Filled with bright, attention-grabbing illustrations, a notes and activities section at the back helps parents, guardians and teachers further discuss these issues with children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy is this book important? As early as 6 months old, a baby’s brain can notice race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalise racial bias and start assigning meaning to race; and 5- to 8-year-olds begin to place value judgments on similarities and differences. By age 12, children have a complete set of stereotypes about every racial, ethnic and religious group in society. Our guidance is especially crucial during this impressionable time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRace Cars offers a simple, yet powerful, way to introduce these complicated themes to our children and is a valuable addition to classroom and home libraries.\u003cbr\u003e “… a great tool for helping young people understand structural racial inequality—and the importance of challenging it!” – Margaret A. Hagerman, Associate Professor of Sociology, Author of White Kids: Growing Up with Privilege in a Racially Divided America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “… can jumpstart important conversations with children about racism, white privilege, and how to fight racial injustice in their own lives.” – Marianne Celano, New York Times bestselling co-author of Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice","brand":"Quarto Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54634677305679,"sku":"9780711265837","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780711265837_1-race-cars.jpg?v=1780261082","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/race-cars","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
