Starting conversations about racial bias with childrend can be difficult and uncomfortable. If you are looking for resources to support the AAPI community, see below.

Addressing Anti-Asian Racism with StudentsShop Asian Owned Bookstores
The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center has a great list of resources on How to Teach AAPI History and How to Address Anti-Asian Racism with Students. This includes a TED Talk from Liz Kleinrock, an Asian American 4th grade teacher who talks through a real conversation she had with her students about Anti-Asian racism.
Fierce Reads put together this list of Asian owned bookstores to shop indies and support the API community. For a more extensive list of Asian owned bookstores by state, visit We Need Diverse Books.
