This chapter book edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller by luminaries Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds is an essential introduction to the history of racism and antiracism
in America
RACE. Uh-oh. The R-word. But actually talking about race is one of the most important things to learn how to do.
Adapted from the groundbreaking bestseller Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, this book takes readers on a journey from present to past and back again. Kids will discover where
racist ideas came from, identify how they impact America today, and meet those who have fought racism with antiracism. Along the way, they’ll learn how to identify and stamp out racist thoughts in
their own lives.
“A wonderfully accessible version of the already seminal work for teens.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Pe’Tehn Raighn-Kem Jackson hits it out of the park with her lively and engaging reading…Jackson’s relatable performance increases the accessibility of this important, sobering, and inspiring work for young listeners. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
Sheer brilliance....An empowering, transformative read. Bravo. —Jewell Parker Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Boys
Teens are often searching for their place in the world, in Stamped, Reynolds gives context to where we are, how we got here, and reminds young people-and all of us-that we have a choice to make about who we want to be. This unapologetic telling of the history of racism in our nation is refreshingly simple and deeply profound. This is the history book I needed as a teen. —Renée Watson, New York Timesbestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Piecing Me Together
Jason Reynolds has the amazing ability to make words jump off the page. Told with passion, precision, and even humor, Stamped is a true story-a living story-that everyone needs to know. —Steve Sheinkin, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Bomb and Born to Fly
The R-word: Racism. Some tuck tail and run from it. Others say it's no longer a thing. But Dr. Kendi breaks it down, and Jason Reynolds makes it easy to understand. Mark my words: This book will change everything. —Nic Stone, #1 bestselling author of Dear Martin
If knowledge is power, this book will make you more powerful than you've ever been before. —Ibi Zoboi, author of the National Book Award finalist American Street
Reading this compelling not-a-history book is like finding a field guide to American racism, allowing you to quickly identify racist ideas when you encounter them in the wild. —Dashka Slater, author of The 57 Bus

Worthy of inclusion in every home and in curricula and libraries everywhere. Impressive and much needed. —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Required reading for everyone, especially those invested in the future of young people in America. —Booklist, starred review

* "Eye-opening...this engaging overview offers readers lots to think about and should spark important conversations about this timely topic. —School Library Connection, starred review

Thorough and educational…fresh and conversational... —TIME Magazine
