God Made Me Black Because He Is Creative: A Child's First Book On Race Relations - Paperback

As the summer of 2020 unfolded, I saw so many adults moving to the wrong side of the fence on appropriate race relations views and I was taken aback. I thought our country was a lot further down the yellow brick road of race relations. I wanted to help make a change, so I decided to focus my efforts on our youth. I thought of parents struggling for a common language when trying to talk about these issues with their children. I thought of the children trying to make sense of issues that just don't make sense. I imagine they were left feeling scared and insecure. If they were children of color, I imagine there are no words to describe how they felt. Vulnerable, at-risk, hunted to name a few. I believe our country can heal from the wounds of racism. I believe this younger generation will be the last generation to sanction systemic racism. At a peaceful demonstration, I attended in July for Elijah McClain, one of the teenage speakers said, "Change is coming and it is beautiful!" Amen. Please join me as we create a safer world for all children. www.juliefederico.com
