Where Is the RACE?

A Diverse Children’s Book About Teaching and Practicing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality

By: Sherri Jefferson

Narrated by: Sherri Jefferson

Where is the race?

Is it in the big city where the buildings reach the sky?

Do we drive or ride the train?

Do we fly by plane?

Do the racers look like me?

I really must know.

I want all my questions answered before I go!

An easy and fun listen with simple text, Where Is the RACE? is an educational springboard for discussion about race. This book introduces children and families to the concepts of representation and inclusiveness through meaningful engagement.

Where Is the RACE? helps parents, pastors, principals, and others teach children about antiracism and socialization. The book also offers an entertaining race-learning tool section: Reading, Activities, Composition (cultural awareness), and Extracurricular activities (field trips, outings, and family nights).

As the world engages in conversation about race and inclusion, children are often left out of the conversation. Yet, studies prove that children learn about race before their first birthday. The listener will gain valuable lessons of inclusion and equality. All families will find this book ideal for raising antiracist children, and no race is exempt.

Where Is the RACE? offers a lens into humanity through the eyes of children. All children in this book are depicted as human beings. Studies show that most books about Blacks, Latins, and indigenous people are viewed through the lens of animals as the main character.

Written by an African American woman who founded the African American Juvenile Justice Project, Where Is the RACE? will inspire and inform people from all backgrounds to be inclusive. Visit www.AAJJP.com to know more.
