Lester, Julius. (2005). Let's Talk About Race. (1st ed.). Harper Collins. Amistad.
We've all heard that we are all the same underneath no matter what color our skin is. Yet, Julius Lester creates a version of this that is like no other. In this book, Lester helps the reader to actually see that we are all the same. The colorful illustrations, yet abstract, brings his story to life. I loved this book and I will include this as a part of my African American unit that I do each year with my students. It is one that I would recommend that every teacher include in their unit of studies. His story is so clever and unique that I would definitely read other books from this author.
