"When you are kind to others, it not only changes you, it changes the world."  Harold Kushner

IN RESPONSE TO THE EVENTS IN OUR NATION AND COMMUNITY, I HAVE GATHERED SOME RESOURCES FAMILIES MAY FIND HELPFUL IN TALKING WITH CHILDREN ABOUT RACISM, APPRECIATING DIVERSITY, AND ACTIVISM:

• Talking with Children About Racism and Appreciating Diversity: Information for Parents on the Internet
• Talking with Children About Racism and Appreciating Diversity: Books Parents Can Read With Their Children About Activism
