As children all over the world get ready for bed, the moon watches over them. The moon knows that when we sleep, we dream. And when we dream, we imagine what is possible and what the world can be.

Goodnight Racism gives children the language to dream of a better world and is the perfect book to add to their social justice toolkit.
