"It's easier to build strong children than repair broken men and womenThis book provides an incredible opportunity for parents and guardians to start important conversations early on." -- Guvna B * rapper, author and broadcaster *
"Loretta and Ruth have given us a treasure: a non-judgemental, open-hearted manual on ways to tackle the subject of race with our little ones. What makes this book particularly distinctive are the two viewpoints; whether you come from a background where race is a commonplace discussion and identity, or you're on a journey to recognising your white privilege, you will feel seen. I will be returning to these pages time and time again, using their family activities, conversation starters and wisdom in my quest to raise "not just nice 'not racist' kids". -- Sarah Clarke * Disastersofathirtysomething on Instagram *
"Books like this are essential, the more children are comfortable talking about race the less barriers there will be between us. Loretta and Ruth have done a fantastic job at writing a book to help us navigate what can sometimes seem as an impossible or heavy conversation when it comes to talking to children about race". -- Naomi and Natalie * from Everyday Racism *
"Ruth and Loretta, are definitely more than just a mama, I was lucky enough to have met them when they were newly mothers working on their platform @morethanamum...fast forwards to nearly 10 years and together they have written this amazing book out of passion to bring communities together. That is definitely something their forte. What I love the most is that you are part of change – a lasting change tribe. Ruth and Loretta have not only used their platform but their honest voices in sharing their experiences and research to be the conversation opener for children and families on anti-racism. It's your go to guide on raising anti-racist children for a kinder world for our new generation." -- Dina Maktabi * Founder of Kensington Mums *
"This is an incredibly helpful and well-written guide that I will go back to time and time again throughout raising my son! When reading this book I felt comfortable to give full permission to be corrected and to be taught, but more than anything I felt like I had been taken under a very wise pair of wings and embraced by loving friends who truly want the best for me, my family, and generations to come! Thankyou Loretta and Ruth for writing such an important and necessary book." -- Emma Borquaye * Author and founder of Girl Got Faith *
"I really wanted to skim through this book, picking out little nuggets of wisdom, but paragraph after paragraph, chapter after chapter, I was engrossed! To get truly informed, personal and historical views from a white person and a mixed-race person, adds a unique touch, making this book very accessible for the many non-Blacks, who for the first time in their lives, are looking for someone who looks like them for an explanation. Not forgetting the helpful tips of games to play with children, to spark honest conversation. Brilliant!" -- Nana-Adwoa Mbeutcha * Black Mums Upfront *
