Antiracist Baby by Ibram X. Kendi.
The last book that we’ll review
Is called Antiracist Baby.
This book, like the others in our series,
Is available at the Law Library.
Although this is a children’s book
The lessons also apply to adults
Kendi has written nine suggestions
For readers to review and consult.
The illustrations are colorful
Reflective of our universe
The lessons within gently explain how
To appreciate cultures that are diverse.
We pass these lessons on to our children
So that they can help transform
Our society to one where antiracism
Is not unexpected or rare, but the norm.
Kendi explains that we all make choices
Some are bad, while some are good
We can learn from our mistakes, and make
Better choices in adulthood.
The final pages pose questions for parents
To start the conversation,
To teach their children to be antiracist
And to practice antiracism.
Ibram X. Kendi has some excellent advice
For raising the next generation.
Let’s help build a world that is antiracist
With this book as our inspiration.
