The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White is the story about Phoebe Manigault returning home to Mt. Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, to help her sister with their ailing mother. When past memories resurface, Phoebe is thrown back into some childhood turmoil. I requested an Advanced Readers Copy ARC of The Last Carolina Summer from NetGalley, and I was ecstatic when the provided me with a copy for free in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: I Am An Antiracist Superhero! by Jennifer Nicole Bacon

Book Review of I Am An Antiracist Superhero! Jennifer Nicole Bacon

I Am An Antiracist Superhero! by Jennifer Nicole Bacon is a children's book that focuses on having kids between the ages of four and eight empower themselves to be an antiracist superhero through look, listen, feel, and act.

Thank you to NetGalley and Shambhala Publications, Inc. for the digital version of an Advanced Readers Copy of I Am An Antiracist Superhero! by Jennifer Nicole Bacon.  I was interested to see what this book would offer as lesson for children to be an antiracist, so I was happy to be approved to read this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

The lessons taught in this children's book were fantastic and done in a way that children can understand.  The story is well written and illustrations are fantastic.  This book is perfect for teachers to actually teach the lesson in preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade.  It even includes activities that can be done in the classroom or even as a homework assignment with parents.  The lessons taught in this book could even help in situations of bullying.

Five out of five stars is what I give I Am An Antiracist Superhero! by Jennifer Nicole Bacon.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I am looking forward to reading other books by this author.
