Once again, Boutte poses perhaps the most important question any educator committed to equity must pose everyday: And how are the children? Boutte has produced a seven-course meal - an intricate and delicate feast - that is sure to satisfy the appetite of educators working toward justice and joy with Black children, their families, and communities. A tool to help educators build knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and skills necessary to learn from their Black students while teaching, this book should be in the library of those committed to cognitive, academic, psychological, behavioral, affective, emotional, and social wellbeing of young people living and learning in challenging times.
