A necessary addition to all parenting and parent-teacher collections.--Library Journal A stage-by-stage review of a child's development--from tot to teenager. It shows how black children can successfully navigate through a society that is often hostile to them to in order to grow up to pursue a positive life... will prove helpful for anyone who will be in charge of young black children. And those who aren't, take note: If you know parents too overwhelmed to read the book, do so for them and feed them the insights you gain; or if you know nonblack teachers, social workers or counselors who sincerely want to do the right thing by the black children with whom they deal, tell them about the book--or treat them to a copy. --Tonya Bolden, Black Enterprise A very direct question-and-answer format--although there are no easy answers--responding to hard questions. --Mike Maza, Dallas Morning News
