Description

RACE. Uh-oh. The R-word. But actually talking about race is one of the most important things to learn how to do. Adapted from the award-winning, bestselling Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, this book takes readers on a journey from present to past and back again. Kids will discover where racist ideas came from, identify how they impact America today, and meet those who have fought racism with antiracism. Along the way, they'll learn how to identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their own lives. Ibram X. Kendi's research, Jason Reynolds's and Sonja Cherry-Paul's writing, and Rachelle Baker's art come together in this vital read, enhanced with a glossary, timeline, and more.

Reviews

* "An epic feat... More than merely a young reader's adaptation of Kendi's landmark work, Stamped does a remarkable job of tying together disparate threads while briskly moving through its historical narrative."--Bookpage, starred review * "Eye-opening...this engaging overview offers readers lots to think about and should spark important conversations about this timely topic."--School Library Connection, starred review * "Readers who want to truly understand how deeply embedded racism is in the very fabric of the U.S., its history, and its systems will come away educated and enlightened. Worthy of inclusion in every home and in curricula and libraries everywhere. Impressive and much needed."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "Required reading for everyone, especially those invested in the future of young people in America."--Booklist, starred review * "Reynolds (Look Both Ways) lends his signature flair to remixing Kendi's award-winning Stamped from the Beginning...Told impressively economically, loaded with historical details that connect clearly to current experiences, and bolstered with suggested reading and listening selected specifically for young readers, Kendi and Reynolds's volume is essential, meaningfully accessible reading."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "Reynolds and Kendi eloquently challenge the common narrative attached to U.S. history. This adaptation, like the 2016 adult title, will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. Highly recommended for libraries serving middle and high school students."--School Library Journal, starred review "the must-read book of the moment...potent and provocative"--San Francisco Chronicle "If knowledge is power, this book will make you more powerful than you've ever been before."--Ibi Zoboi, author of the National Book Award finalist American Street "Jason Reynolds has the amazing ability to make words jump off the page. Told with passion, precision, and even humor, Stamped is a true story-a living story-that everyone needs to know."--Steve Sheinkin, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Bomb and Born to Fly "Reading this compelling not-a-history book is like finding a field guide to American racism, allowing you to quickly identify racist ideas when you encounter them in the wild."--Dashka Slater, author of The 57 Bus "Reynolds's engaging, clear prose shines a light on difficult and confusing subjects....This is no easy feat."--The New York Times Book Review "Sheer brilliance....An empowering, transformative read. Bravo."--Jewell Parker Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Boys "Teens are often searching for their place in the world, in Stamped, Reynolds gives context to where we are, how we got here, and reminds young people-and all of us-that we have a choice to make about who we want to be. This unapologetic telling of the history of racism in our nation is refreshingly simple and deeply profound. This is the history book I needed as a teen."--Renee Watson, New York Timesbestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Piecing Me Together Praise for Stamped (for Kids) A 2022 ALA Notable Children's Book #1 New York Times bestseller A Parents Magazine Best Book of the Year A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Selection A 2020 American Library Association Notable Book * "A wonderfully accessible version of the already seminal work for teens."--School Library Journal, starred review * "Exhilarating, excellent, necessary."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: #1 New York Times bestseller #1 IndieBound bestseller USAToday bestseller Wall Street Journal bestseller2020 Kirkus Prize finalist A TIME Magazine Ten Best Children's and YA Books of the Year?
