<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Elmo and friends learn along with young readers about racial justice. This gentle guide informs kids what it means to stand up for justice and what they can do in their daily lives"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>What can you do to stand up for racial kindness?</strong></p> <p>Elmo and friends learn along with young readers about racial justice. Inspired by CNN and Sesame Street's Town Hall, <em>Coming Together: Standing Up to Racism</em>, this gentle guide helps kids celebrate what makes them special, use words to talk about race, and understand why it is important to treat everyone fairly.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Elmo and friends introduce the concepts of fairness and racial justice to a very young audience. Elmo begins by highlighting the importance of diversity and presenting skin color as a quality that makes each person unique and special. Though race itself is not explicitly defined, a clunky transition to the concept defines racism as 'being treated unfairly because of your race or where you are from.' No examples of unfair treatment are given. Listening to friends' feelings and talking with a trusted adult are laid out as ways to address unfairness, with the ultimate goal of making the world a better place. These <strong>examples of concrete actions children can take to stand up for themselves and others create a strong foundation and make this a useful primer for community building</strong>, though the connection to racism and racial justice is disjointed. Photos of Sesame Street characters and a diverse cast of young children are overlaid onto backdrops of bright colors and shapes, making for an eye-catching, positive read, despite flaws. VERDICT Purchase where needed, but don't expect the Sesame Street crew to adequately address the complex topics here.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
