This rhyming book includes nine steps to “equity”—all of which contained important and valuable lessons on the topic of antiracism. I appreciated reading it myself, and think this picture book makes a great, positive, and meaningful primer for young readers to intentionally teach antiracism (my preference is this picture book version rather than the board book version). The colors are bright, bold, and fun, and babies are the star of each illustration (lots of diversity in these illustrations!).
