Publisher's Synopsis
Recent events have led many of us to reexamine issues of racial equity and justice. Because parents and caregivers are their child's first teacher, they are on the front lines, fielding questions from their children about race, antiracism, and related issues that require thoughtful responses. If we want to raise antiracist children, we have to start talking to them about racism and how to be antiracist.

Praise for Born a Crime:
"Compelling . . . By turns alarming, sad and funny, [Trevor Noah's] book provides a harrowing look, through the prism of Mr. Noah's family, at life in South Africa under apartheid. . . . Born a Crime is not just an unnerving account of growing up in South Africa under apartheid, but a love letter to the author's remarkable mother."
-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
