Looking for a better way to talk to your kids about race and privilege?

Both of these are hot button topics that can be difficult to address.
How can we initiate these conversations authentically? How do we take abstract concepts and put them into context? What are some good resources I can pull from?
For me, nothing does this better and is more age appropriate than through stories and books. This month we are reading New Kid by Jerry Craft a graphic novel that strikes the perfect balance between absorbing characters and plot with opportunities to talk about race and difference.
As always we read, discuss, I offer hands on projects, and creative prompts. And as always, our focus is great literature and engaging activities not to push any agenda. Use this as a way to notice things together, read, bring up topics, ask questions, create, and expand perspectives.
