“Everyone should read/listen to this book! This is such important work for each of us to unlearn our conscious and unconscious racism. It is work to be #Antiracist but work that must be done. | Fantastic book. Should be required reading. | In yesterday's #AskAmy column I somewhat tamely suggested that someone become an "ally" toward POC and push back against bigotry (I recommended reading "How to be an Antiracist"). This has really brought out some superfragile haters. Fun for a Monday. | This book by @DrIbram is critical reading. I will be sending out free ecopies this week for those who don?t have access.

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Soft-spoken, heavily illustrated fable built from short dialogues and watercolor sketches. Each spread pairs a spare line of text with a loose drawing, so the pleasure is visual and aphoristic rather than narrative; readers collect felt-true sentences more than plot. Most useful when you want quick consolations, a prompt for conversation with a child, or a pause during a rough day. Limiting if you want sustained argument, concrete advice, or tightly plotted storytelling: the repetition of gentleness can feel sentimental or thin after a while.”
