Let's Talk About Race

BY JULIUS LESTER, ILLUSTRATED BY KAREN BARBOUR

Brief Description:
"This stunning picture book introduces race as just one of many chapters in a person's story. Beginning with the line, `I am a story,' Lester tells his own story with details that kids will enjoy, like his favorite food, hobbies, and time of day. Then he states, `Oh. There's something else that is part of my story.I'm black.' Throughout the narrative, he asks questions that young readers can answer, creating a dialogue about who they are and encouraging them to tell their own tales. He also discusses `stories' that are not always true, pointing out that we create prejudice by perceiving ourselves as better than others. .Lester's engaging tone is just right."- School Library Journal
