- Reading
- Read together if helpful, pausing to name what is known and what remains unclear. Let the child set the pace, and return to questions about the community’s experiences.
- Themes
- Racial violence and community harm: The book recounts an armed mob attacking Greenwood, Black families fleeing, deaths and widespread homelessness. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Protection and accountability: The book addresses protection and accountability; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. These details invite questions about institutional responsibility, but the book’s evaluative framing is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether your reader would benefit from support discussing these events.
