Summary: Home Run for Mom and Teacher!
Comment: As an adoptive single parent of three beautiful black daughters and a teacher, I have often wondered if we do too much or too little to build self-confidence, pride in self and in race, and awareness of history. Dr. Wright's book combines developmental appropriateness, self-esteem and common sense in a manner that really hit home for me. Her examples are very accurate...and yes, my daughter got tired of being the "runaway slave" and "Harriet Tubman" in chase games and no, her classroom teacher didn't try to perpetuate any racial inequities- it was stupidity pure and simple on her part...she didn't realize that at a certain level, children assume very different things than adults. This book was extremely helpful to me and provided me with a lot of information which was shareable with others, particularly in terms of when and how to present information to children and the ways in which children interpret what they see and hear. There was a strong thread of common sense which gave the book a usefulness to many of us trying to help children find a valid and empowering identity in a changing world.

Summary: Right on the Money!!!
Comment: This book was exactly was I was looking for. It is NOT a book about adoption. To me, the book was how from the preschool years, children start to form opinions about race on up through the high school years. Also, it's about how teachers and parents can have a profound impact on how children view themselves in situations where they would be in the minority. I would highly recommend this book especially to parents like myself (black/hispanic with a white husband). Our daughters look hispanic and we live in an entirely white community. Our girls are ALWAYS the only ones with "brown" skin (as they say) in their classrooms. This book actually helps you address some of these issues and how to talk to teachers. Excellent book!

Summary: I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla
Comment: This book was the most helpful of any I've read while researching bi-racial adoption. The information offered by age and how each age actually looks at things like skin color, etc., was just what I needed. I will definitely keep this book for reference!
