Audio version would make a great accompaniment to this book in the classroom. Autobiographical story read by the author.

An important book for all families about love, inclusion, and being anti-racist. Tyler always has beautiful ways of sharing his message even through his own sometimes painful stories and bringing beauty from ashes.

The illustrations are beautiful! Lonnie Ollivierre created gorgeous pictures that captured the laughter and sadness of the kids in the story. One of those kids being the author, Tyler Merritt. Now, if you have read I Take My Coffee Black, then this is not a new tale for you. Tyler doesn't sugarcoat the racism he faced that day. What he does show is that even with people who will judge you for the color of your skin, there are still people who will love you and support you. There are still doors that will be open to you, and you just have to wait on the right one.
