Review

This book brings it all together for novice teachers and the educators tasked with preparing them — accessible language and concrete action, grounded in Tager's own critical reflections and those of the educators she researched alongside. The what, the why, and the how presented here will help educators rise to meet the challenge of developing and sustaining daily teaching practices grounded in anti-racism. -- Casey Myers, Watershed Early Years Partnership
