<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><i>Race Cars</i> is a children's book about white privilege created to help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about race, privilege, and oppression.</b> <p/><b>Written by a clinical social worker and child therapist</b> with experience in anti-bias training and <b>edited by a diversity expert</b>, <i>Race Cars</i> 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. <p/> Filled with <b>bright, attention-grabbing illustrations</b>, a <b>notes and activities section</b> at the back helps parents, guardians, and teachers further discuss these issues with children. <p/><b>Why is this book important?</b> As early as 6 months old, a baby's brain can notice race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalize 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. <p/><i>Race Cars</i> offers a <b>simple, yet powerful, way to introduce these complicated themes</b> to our children and is a valuable addition to classroom and home libraries. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>"<i>Race Cars </i>is a courageous act in dynamic print! It surfaces complex dynamics of race, privilege, and power using a highly accessible, sustained metaphor that captivates even as it challenges. By the end of the book, our youngest readers will have a deeper understanding of the costs of both unfairness and fairness...Teachers will return to this book, again and again, to help students unpack its timeless truths."</b><b><i> - Jason Craige Harris, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at a K-12 school</b></i> </br></br><i>Race Cars</i> is an engaging and compelling book about White privilege. Many White parents, in particular, struggle to discuss race with their children, and they fail to understand their children's developing biases and perceptions. Devenny's book can help kickstart those critical conversations and is an excellent aid for parents working to raise anti-racist children.<b><i> - Dr Erin Pahlke (Ph.D) -- Associate professor of psychology at Whitman College.</b></i> </br></br><i>Race Cars</i> is an engaging and creative book that offers kids a look at how policies and practices, along with people in powerful positions, can reproduce unequal hierarchies, opportunities, and outcomes. The authors provide an excellent guide for parents to use as they engage in meaningful discussions about racism and inequality with their kids. This book is a great tool for helping young people understand structural racial inequality--and the importance of challenging it!<b><i> - Margaret A. Hagerman -- Associate Professor of Sociology, Author of White Kids: Growing Up with Privilege in a Racially Divided America</b></i> </br></br>This book offers an unflinching exposé of white privilege and racial injustice in the form of an allegorical tale easily understood by elementary school students. The discussion notes feature questions that can jumpstart important conversations with children about racism, white privilege, and how to fight racial injustice in their own lives.<b><i> - Marianne Celano -- New York Times bestselling co-author of 'Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice'</b></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Jenny Devenny</b>, LCSW is a psychotherapist, author, illustrator and native New Yorker currently living in Los Angeles with her husband and son.
