Come join the Family Book Group! We focus on picture books to spark anti-racist work with our young families. Geared towards pre-k through grade 2, (but all siblings are welcome!) our book choices and conversations will build towards how we, as families, can engage in more anti-racist reflection, conversations and actions. <br /><br />Family Book Group is hosted by Elizabeth Brown, white mom to 4 biracial kids. I’m figuring out how to engage in anti-racist work as a human and as a parent, expecting feedback and growth to be part of my journey. <br />Contact: ejohnsonbrown@gmail.com, she/her/hers<br /><br />A packet of all 4 books can be reserved for the first 20 families who email the Head of Circulation, Meghan Balbresky at balbreskym@cwmars.org. After you register, I will email you as soon as you can pick them up at the Harvard Public Library. Look at the pictures, read with your kids/fellow caregivers as you can. <br /><br />Book List:<br />Max and the Tag-Along Moon, by Floyd Cooper<br />When Max leaves his grandfather&#39;s house, the moon follows him all the way home, just as Grandpa promised it would.<br /><br />We’re Different, We’re the Same, by Bobbi Jane Kates<br />Illustrations and simple rhyming text show that while the body parts of various human and Muppet characters may look different, they have similar uses.<br /><br />The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi<br />After Unhei moves from Korea to the United States, her new classmates help her decide what her name should be.<br /><br />Something Happened in Our Town by Marianne Celano<br />After discussing the police shooting of a local Black man with their families, Emma and Josh know how to treat a new student who looks and speaks differently than his classmates. <br /><br /><br />More Details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vzfogiuZuH8B58vFNlGdzIQXn-CIdpKF_yIdhfxrXQo/edit
