'They deserve to have their stories told': Why we need Black Lives Matter books for young people

has focused on Indigenous Australians, and issues including sovereignty, incarceration rates and deaths in custody, but Clarke is of Afro-Caribbean descent and has a different focus in her book, with a global audience in mind.

But Clarke says the story came to fruition after a Zoom call with family members across the globe, at the height of the 2020 protests. “Literature is powerful … it can lead to change and it can lead to a different kind of world," says Clarke. Clarke, who illustrated her last children's book, Fashionista, illustrated this one during Melbourne's first lockdown, mainly using watercolour pencils.

"I was conscious of creating a quiet, contemplative picture-book space where you might sit down with a small child, and actually be able to have those conversations away from the fear or the trauma of that direct news cycle." Clarke's memoir and her short story collection are on the English syllabus in high schools across the country.Clarke says it's incredibly valuable for kids — of all backgrounds — to have access to books like Thomas's and her own.

Why stop there ? Why don’t we have libraries that only have books about black people? In fact, why don’t we ensure only black people have access to the library? Us Progressives always make the world better ☺️

Like the socialist head of BLM, U S., Who got $90 million in donations, plus a lucrative Netflix gig, and then generously spread a teeny $1 mil to the little folk around the country. Now she's all 'socialism for thee but not for me'. A true liberator to admire

Typical ABC, promoting violent BLM Marxist ideology.

BLM: The only good cop is a dead cop BLM: Co-Founder said Whites are subhuman “Genetic Defects BLM: Started because GEORGE FLOYD DIED AFTER AN OVERDOSE BLM if that is your opinion then

Religions always seek to indoctrinate children... terrible

BLM books sounds awesome. Hopefully this will hurt more conservatives feelings & they might storm off set like Piers Morgan. I thought conservatives motto was ‘F*** your feelings’? Looks like they are the snowflakes after all, like we all knew. BLM Books is a great idea.

BLM have a socialist revolution as part of their manifesto check their website, but ay the ABC isnt biased at all ...
