Let's talk about race in storytimes

Bratt, Jessica Anne (author.). McCurtis, Kirby, (writer of foreword.).

Summary: In the summer of 2016, Bratt began a personal introspection of how she interacted with the families in her storytimes, and how race placed a direct part in her creation of storytime sessions. She that, though there was a need and a desire to change the narrative, people didn't know how to do it; they were afraid, or felt unequipped. This book is the result of the training sessions Bratt developed: designed to create a space for reflection, growth, and change. -- adapted from Introduction.
