Author: Taye Diggs Category: Activism and Social Justice, Civil Rights, Elementary School Language: English More DetailsA piercing picture book about racial injustice from a child’s perspective from Taye Diggs and Shane Evans.
“Daddy?”
“Yes, my sweet boy.”
“Why are those people shouting?”
“Our people are shouting because we need to be heard. We need to be heard.”
Why? is a question asked by children daily, and in this striking and timely story, it begins a straightforward and challenging conversation between children of color and the adults in their lives.
Why are the buildings burning? Why are people marching? Why are they crying? Taye Diggs has written a beautiful, powerful, and poignant story that peers through the eyes of a child as they struggle to understand why these events are happening.
Why? distills the conversations many children and adults are having about race, injustice, and anger in communities throughout our country, and gives them context that young readers can connect with. Heartfelt and deeply piercing illustrations from Shane W. Evans will leave a lasting impact on readers of any age. One that will hopefully lead to more conversations, change, and peace within our own communities and the world.
