Not my idea : a book about whiteness / written and illustrated by Anastasia Higginbotham.

Higginbotham, Anastasia, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

"A white child sees a news report of a white police officer shooting and killing a person with brown skin who had their hands up. "We don't see color," the child's mother says, but the child senses a deeper truth. An afternoon in the library uncovers the reality of white supremacy in America. The child connects to the opportunity and their responsibility to dismantle white supremacy-for the sake of their own liberation out of ignorance and injustice"--Provided by author's website.
"A necessary children's book about whiteness, white supremacy, and resistance. Important, accessible, needed."-- Kirkus Review.
