THIS BOOK COULD NOT BE MORE TIMELY

I hope this book inspires readers to keep learning and to keep the conversations going. I want my readers to understand and to teach their kids that no matter who you are, what you look like or where you come from, race affects all of us. And we need to look after each other much better, because we are all connected one way or another.

Buy the book! Buy the US Edition!
