This book is a book about racial diversity explained in ways that kindergarten students understand. The premise of the book is that people aren't really different skin colors because we are all brown. The teacher would hold her hand over the pages with colored hands on them to show that her skin isn't any of those colors. If we can get young children to NOT see skin in different colors, they can change the future world's mindset.

Kwaheri Sandy Footprints, Habari Hiking Trails by Deborah Chambers
17. Join Karter as he reads Kwaheri Sandy Footprints, Habari Hiking Trails by Deborah Chambers. Likizo is a boy who was born into a biracial family and enjoys sharing his love for exotic foods and adventures with his friends. One day, he learned from his father that his family would be relocating from California to Ohio due to work obligations during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The boy was hesitant to move due to various new changes that suddenly seemed so scary. He knew he would miss being away from his close friends, school, proximity to various beaches, great weather, extracurricular activities, and the wonderful life they were creating in California. The unforeseen future did not seem that exciting especially since it meant that new changes would disrupt his preferred routine. Will things ever be the same in the new home town? Would his new friends in Ohio want to learn more about Africa, his Mama's original homeland, or enjoy a taste of African food that Mama cooks? Will he fit in a small town and make good friends? Read on to find out. These are some of the questions children ask themselves when faced with uncertainties and changes, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The themes represented in this book include friendship, diversity, inclusivity, kindness, value, family, acceptance, generosity, persistence, and growing up. Biracial families will appreciate identifying with similar situations like Likizo's family and will find this book to be a gem in their collection.

Eve Ellie Meets the New Baby by Paula M. Karll
12. Join Karter as he reads Eve Ellie Meets the New Baby by Paula M. Karll.
It is important for parents to communicate with their older children to help them adapt and adjust to a new sibling. Caring for and nurturing the older sibling is just as important as caring for the new baby. In Ellie Meets the New Baby, Ellie struggles with embracing her new sister. As Mom and Dad encourage Ellie and communicate the baby's needs to her, she starts to learn and enjoy being a big sister. The author incorporates an inclusive depiction of a multi-cultural family, which allows readers to identify with characters who may seem a little different-- or who simply have a different kind of family-- but are basically the same. This book also incorporates discussion questions and learning activities to support parents in communicating with their siblings.

Sometimes It Happens: You Have to Stay Home by Annette Blake
11. Join Karter as he reads Sometime It Happens: You Have to Stay Home by Annette Blake.
The Sometimes It Happens series was born out of Ms. Blake’s work with children in a school setting. When she witnessed children experiencing difficult situations, she wanted to help them deal with their strong emotions. She began to create stories to help the children use coping skills to give them comfort and hope. The Sometimes it Happens series was born.
This first book in the series, Sometimes it Happens: You Have to Stay Home, focuses on the current (Covid-19) situation of children having to stay home, away from their daily routines; keeping them away from their friends, schools, teachers, and even other relatives. While Ms. Blake continued to educate from home, she listened to her student’s feelings and questions. She took these thoughts and put them together to help children have a positive outlook on a difficult situation, letting them know that everything will be ok.
