Book Reviews of Black, White, Just Right!
Book Review: Building Biracial Confidence
Summary: 5 Stars
Kids can be both kind and cruel, particularly when society at times requests that you 'pick a side' of racial identity to define yourself as an individual, from life as a child through the end of your journey. Issues of race, identity become a part of a lifelong landscape. Knowing who you are and moving forward with that knowledge not as a handicap but as distinctly right for you, can make or break you on your journey of self awareness and actualization.
Growing up biracial can have its own unique set of challenges. As young people begin to develop their sense of identity, being a part of more than one culture can be a celebration of this uniqueness. It's important that families nurture a sense of self and family pride, and do so early, so that when youth step outside into the larger world, they are equipped with healthy self esteem, including a set of values on which they can rely and further build upon no matter what challenges come their way.
This book provides easy to digest grains of truth about biracial identity for a young girl, who is taking charge of her identity--she is black, white and will be alright because she knows her history as well as its value, just right. Interestingly enough, with widespread children's rhyming taunts, antagonistic songs, dirty dozens, etc., the book's title is an empowering child's comeback mantra. Say it loud, say it proud.
