"Wow this is a pretty sweet resource, and goes pretty deep, and makes the concept of white privilege and even systemic racism pretty easy to understand (in thinking about my Gr. 3s anyways). Love the journal prompts, too! I’d die to have this!"

“What a great resource. I think this looks fantastic and would be a great starting point for teachers. I too am thinking about my grade 3's and 4's and how nicely this would work with them."
