Goodreads review by Josh on January 03, 2022

Just about a year ago (in January 2021), Jemar Tisby released How to Fight Racism, a practical book filled actionable ideas to make real substantive change in one’s community. Now he’s gone back and adapted that material, along with pieces and ideas of his book The Color of Compromise to create How......more

Goodreads review by Meredith on April 23, 2022

I love that Tisby's book was made into a version for young readers and look forward to exploring and discussing more with my tweens. This is a huge part of our world and knowing how to navigate it as parents from a biblical perspective is so tricky--so thankful for this book to smartly guide us. Tha......more

Goodreads review by Cover Lover on April 14, 2022

I have mixed feelings on this book. I found the parts on the history of racism interesting but much of the book contains too much information for a young reader to absorb. Also, some information might be too detailed or disturbing for younger readers. (It was for me, an adult.) I feel this book is b......more

Quotes

'Tisby, who continues here as his own narrator, is a patient, thoughtful reader, remaining consistently gracious even when discussing egregious history and contemporary injustice. Tisby gets immediately personal, introducing his younger self when he realized that the predominantly white school had 'all the nice stuff' while his mostly Black and brown school had 'all the broken-down stuff.' With relentless headlines about anti-Black police brutality, white supremacy, racial profiling, and worse, Tisby is forced to get real: 'our world is broken.' To 'fix what needs to be fixed,' he's ready with an antidotal model: 'the ARC of Racial Justice'--Awareness, Relationships, Commitment. While Tisby draws often on his Christian beliefs, his religion never proves alienating. VERDICT 'Words...can be used as weapons to beat people up or as bandages to help people heal'--Tisby's informative kindness pushes listeners to be better.' School Library Journal
