Something Happened in Our Town

I think this is a very important story for kids and to understand a complex situation like racial injustice and police brutality. I think it involves good questions that get kids thinking. I like especially in the story that it gives kids the opportunity to apply what they learned about injustice and make a change on their level by making friendships. I think after discussing a big issue like this kids may feel a little powerless but the story told encourages small steps that they can do themselves to make a difference!

There is a parent guide on the back to help promote discussion and I think its important to have with kids because they will hear about things like this and have questions.
