It does not have ideas of race throughout, it speaks to microaggressions that persons of color experience on a daily basis. There is much to be learned, much to gained from reading and sharing New Kid.

> Hi All..I ordered a copy of New Kid by Jerry Craft for our K-4 building....the reviews said 8:00-12:00 and grades 4-7.  Does anyone else have it in their elementary building?  It is fairy intense with the ideas of race weaved throughout.  Do you feel it is appropriate to have in a K-4 building?
