A Time to Talk Sandy George

"Why are those people holding signs? Why are they screaming? What is going on?" Liam exclaimed, peering through the window.

A Time to Talk is a breakthrough illustrated children's book that helps foster vital family communication skills related to the most important topics affecting elementary school kids today - social justice topics like racism, ethnic diversity and police relations. The book also encourages children to talk to parents about difficult issues and teaches the value of nonviolent protest and activism.

The story begins when young Liam hears vocal but peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters outside his window. The sight of a group of angry people with signs marching on the street leads to an uncomfortable but important family discussion about inequality, race relations and oppression.

Through this conversation, Liam learns how to be an ally and not a bystander. This story can be a starting point for children and adults alike by helping to start conversations about racism and becoming an ally. This book can be your first step in raising an antiracist kid and teaching the entire family how to treat people of all races with respect.
