| Publisher Description: The perfect children's book for times like these Your children have no doubt absorbed some of the disturbing news stories that have occupied our attention in 2020. The book Blue Eyes Brown Eyes addresses racism in a fictionalized account of an actual event. The day after Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, a third grade school teacher in Iowa, Jane Elliott, taught her class about racism in an unusual way that has stayed with them ever since. Blue Eyes Brown Eyes follows two fictional students, Bobby and Marie, as they learn about racism from their very innovative teacher. The story is told in rhyme, but nothing rhymes with Elliott, so the teacher in the story is named Mrs Bowers. Recommended for elementary students. |
