Description: As a little boy grows into a bigger boy ready to take on the world he first must have that very difficult conversation far too familiar to so many Black and Brown Americans in this gentle and ultimately hopeful picture book. Jay's most favorite things are hanging out with his pals getting kisses from Grandma riding in his dad's cool car and getting measured by his mom with pencil marks on the wall. But as those height marks inch upward Grandpa warns Jay about being in too big a group with his friends Grandma worries others won t see him as quite so cute now that he's older and Dad has to tell Jay how to act if the police ever pull them over. And Jay just wants to be a kid. All Black and Brown kids get The Talk the talk that could mean the difference between life and death in a racist world. Told in an age - appropriate fashion with a perfect pause for parents to insert their own discussions with their children to accompany prompting illustrations The Talk is a gently honest and sensitive starting point for this far - too - necessary conversation for Black children Brown children and for ALL children. Because you can t make change without knowing what needs changing.
