Chapter Overview

Description

This audio summary explores a hopeful idea: children aren’t born with racist beliefs—those beliefs are taught. And because ideas can be taught, they can also be un-taught and replaced with something better: curiosity, honesty, and a commitment to fairness.

Across ten short chapters, the narration offers supportive ways to talk about skin color, name racism when it appears, understand how unfair policies shape people’s lives, and build a family culture where learning and growth are welcomed. The message is steady and encouraging: small everyday choices can help raise children who celebrate diversity and help change the world.

Who Should Listen

  • Parents, caregivers, and educators who want simple language for talking with children about race, fairness, and difference
  • Adults who want to model accountability—learning, apologizing, and growing—so children feel safe doing the same
