 Description:

An ordinary day is a picture book about two boys who move through a typical day. It follows them at home, school, and through after school activities; however, it highlights how even in the mundane of experiences, Black children operate in a world that consciously and subconsciously promotes messaging about bias and inferiority. The book subtly and tactfully demonstrates experiences with microaggressions and systemic disadvantage. This children’s book is an innovative approach to broaching discussions about racism and structural differences with children- a process that should start for all children early in childhood. Research demonstrates that children begin to notice race-based differences as early as 6 months of age and develop racial biases by 2-4 years of age. Therefore, conversations about the nuances of racial experiences should be had early and often. Children are often ready to discuss these difficult topics before we adults are ready to do so. This book is intended as a resource to broach the conversation with young children of all races and cultural backgrounds.
