Yesterday, I sat down with my three boys in front of our bookshelves at home with the kids books on it. We did something together I typically have only done by myself: a physical count, separated into piles of
how many of the books were written by a person of color,
how many books feature a child of color as the main character, and
how many represent day-to-day life with a child who happens to be of color?
Lots of conversations ensued that I know will continue. It was a pretty powerful way to spend an afternoon with my children.
