I was curious about this book after it went viral recently。 I love the concepts and illustrations and I plan to read it to future children; that being said， I think the adult reading this book will have to prepare themselves ahead of time to answer questions the child might have about the larger words like “neutrality” or “policies”。 Because of these larger words， the rhyme scheme was off at parts。

This just failed for me as a picture book。 Children under the age of 8 （the picture book crowd） would not understand many of the words/concepts used。 The rhyming was so-so--difficult to read out loud unless a good rapper。 （I'm not） And it came off as preaching not teaching from one person's point of view。 This is not a book I would choose to read aloud at storytime or in the classroom or to my children if they weren't grown and gone。 This just failed for me as a picture book。 Children under the age of 8 （the picture book crowd） would not understand many of the words/concepts used。 The rhyming was so-so--difficult to read out loud unless a good rapper。 （I'm not） And it came off as preaching not teaching from one person's point of view。 This is not a book I would choose to read aloud at storytime or in the classroom or to my children if they weren't grown and gone。 。。。more

I'm disappointed。 I like Kendi's books for older kids and adults。 This one missed the mark for a children's / toddler's book。 Penguin， what were you thinking？ The editors could have done so much to help this book really speak to young children！ Anyway， read it because it's good info for adults。 There are many， many wonderful picture books that represent all races at the library。 Ask your local librarian to help you find them！ I'm disappointed。 I like Kendi's books for older kids and adults。 This one missed the mark for a children's / toddler's book。 Penguin， what were you thinking？ The editors could have done so much to help this book really speak to young children！ Anyway， read it because it's good info for adults。 There are many， many wonderful picture books that represent all races at the library。 Ask your local librarian to help you find them！ 。。。more

Sen。 Ted Cruz convinced me to give this book a read。 I suspected his reading comprehension skills were lacking， and the book does NOT teach that babies are racist。 I was right。The concepts may be a little beyond what young children need to understand。 But as far as what parents get when they're reading it to their young children， I think this book is perfect。 Sen。 Ted Cruz convinced me to give this book a read。 I suspected his reading comprehension skills were lacking， and the book does NOT teach that babies are racist。 I was right。The concepts may be a little beyond what young children need to understand。 But as far as what parents get when they're reading it to their young children， I think this book is perfect。 。。。more

Great book for parents of young children。 I don’t think the problem is a Black or Brown problem because in most cases we raise our children to be all inclusive it’s only when the encounter white kids who have been taught they are better than everyone who doesn’t look like them。#cillasbookmaniacs。

Vi um meme que esse livrinho virou best seller porque o senador reacionário norte americano Ted Cruz falou mal dele， para que ele viralize aqui no Brasil também vou espalhar a palavra， hehehe。Apesar de ser um livro infantil， ele é mais um método direcionado aos pais de como não criar filhos racistas e sim antirracistas， porque a gente sempre tem que ir frente junto à máxima de que não basta não ser racista， tem que ser antirracista e fazer por onde。 Esse livrinho meio que direciona os pais em co Vi um meme que esse livrinho virou best seller porque o senador reacionário norte americano Ted Cruz falou mal dele， para que ele viralize aqui no Brasil também vou espalhar a palavra， hehehe。Apesar de ser um livro infantil， ele é mais um método direcionado aos pais de como não criar filhos racistas e sim antirracistas， porque a gente sempre tem que ir frente junto à máxima de que não basta não ser racista， tem que ser antirracista e fazer por onde。 Esse livrinho meio que direciona os pais em como fazer isso。 。。。more

If you want to teach your children about racism and have no idea where to start， this picture book is a great one。 The message is very inspiring and hopeful！ It is really well written and the graphics are so cute。 No it doesn't call babies racists， don't be stupid。 If you want to teach your children about racism and have no idea where to start， this picture book is a great one。 The message is very inspiring and hopeful！ It is really well written and the graphics are so cute。 No it doesn't call babies racists， don't be stupid。 。。。more

Thank you Senator Ted Cruz for this book recommendation…。 Excellent read！ Comprehension matter 😜 📚the more you know！

I had to read this book after Senator Cruz made an ass of himself with it in the Supreme Court hearings。 I have no issue with anything at all in this book and highly recommend How to be Anti-Racist also by Ibram Kendi。 I also purchased a copy of the book today in support of both the author and Ketanji Brown Jackson。

This book is telling kids that no one is born racist， racist behavior is learned and shows in nine easy steps how to avoid racist behavior。 Who could anyone possibly have a problem with that message？

I read this because Ted Cruz won’t stop complaining about it，，， that’s how you know it’s good 🤠

It's not for children， but for adults who need the concept simplified。 The outraged reviews gives more credence to the belief that any move towards equality will feel oppressive to those who are accustomed to privilege。 It's not for children， but for adults who need the concept simplified。 The outraged reviews gives more credence to the belief that any move towards equality will feel oppressive to those who are accustomed to privilege。 。。。more

Five stars for a unique book。 I especially like the fact that poetry was used to convey the point。

I think this book is a perfect example of why writing children’s books is a difficult and unique skill。 Ibram X。 Kendi is a brilliant and accomplished writer on antiracism but that doesn’t mean he can also just become a childrens’ writer。 The idea of this being a children’s book is laughable。 It’s far too long and wordy， and the concepts far too abstract to resonate with babies and toddlers。 I totally support the message of antiracism but this book feels like a ill-conceived cash grab catered to I think this book is a perfect example of why writing children’s books is a difficult and unique skill。 Ibram X。 Kendi is a brilliant and accomplished writer on antiracism but that doesn’t mean he can also just become a childrens’ writer。 The idea of this being a children’s book is laughable。 It’s far too long and wordy， and the concepts far too abstract to resonate with babies and toddlers。 I totally support the message of antiracism but this book feels like a ill-conceived cash grab catered toward virtue-signaling white liberals。 And more power to Kendi， glad he’s getting his bag。 But as a children’s book and a tool for teaching toddlers antiracism， this book is useless。 I think there could be such a book that teaches antiracism in a digestible， age-appropriate way， but only if it’s written by a children’s author who understands how children think and learn。 As a childcare worker， I felt condescended by this book， like “why can’t you teach these things？ They’re so simple，” when actually it’s not then simple when you’re trying to get a squirming tot to listen。 And again， it’s arrogant to think that any great writer is qualified to be a children’s writer。 。。。more

It's awesome to have a book to teach kids and adults alike about antiracism， not to mention this one is so great。 It makes the topic easy to understand while still being educational。 It's awesome to have a book to teach kids and adults alike about antiracism， not to mention this one is so great。 It makes the topic easy to understand while still being educational。 。。。more

An absolute must read。 If this book upsets you， YOU'RE THE PROBLEM！！ Seek help， seeing color is not a bad thing， ignoring it and acting like racism doesn't exist is 100% the problem！ An absolute must read。 If this book upsets you， YOU'RE THE PROBLEM！！ Seek help， seeing color is not a bad thing， ignoring it and acting like racism doesn't exist is 100% the problem！ 。。。more

I think this would be difficult for children。 It s a picture book for parents on how to raise an antiracist baby。 This book （unsurprisingly） is getting either good or bad reviews and not n much in between—and I suspect ideology has a lot to do with it。

I checked out this book because I was interested in learning more and exposing my children to the ideas within， but it felt poorly targeted and executed， even though it did contain some good points。

I appreciate what this book is trying to do… and… it isn’t a book for babies。 Yes it is a board book。 Yes babies are featured。 Yes babies love babies。 So in that sense it is。 Oh and the words rhyme。 But the content is way over the head of any toddler or pre schooler。 Still if it sparks conversation about yes I think it has done its job。 And the concepts are certainly important， just more understandable for adults than babies。

Soooooo cute and great lesson

I highly recommend it for all parents。 It’s a parent manual into anti-racism more than a babies’/toddlers’ book。 I was amazed how the author got this done so smartly！ This book is not about acceptance but about anti racism… actively standing against racism！ Well done 👏

Good messages but Kendi is definitely a better writer for adults and teenagers than little kids！

Antiracist Baby is my first read to kick off 2022 Black History Month。 I liked this book。 The target audience for Antiracist Baby is children but I believe it’s better suited for adults who are looking for some assistance in starting a dialogue with their child（ren） about racism。 Nothing new or earth-shattering here but it may help open the door。

Fantastic message！ Explains how to teach your children antiracism and how to challenge your own racism without being judgmental。 4 stars only because the illustrations are bizarre to me。

I think this presents a great conversation starter for parents and children， but is also not entirely at the toddler level。 As in， it's not going to keep a toddler's attention unless the parents are there doing the work。 It's really more for parents than children。 I think this presents a great conversation starter for parents and children， but is also not entirely at the toddler level。 As in， it's not going to keep a toddler's attention unless the parents are there doing the work。 It's really more for parents than children。 。。。more
