Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice social divisions or is struggling to understand why being well-intentioned isn't the same as being truly supportive. It is an essential choice for navigating the nuance of allyship and the complexities of neighborhood integration. When the Garber family moves into an all-white neighborhood, eleven-year-old Winnie is thrilled to have new friends, but she quickly realizes that her own enthusiasm and 'color-blind' approach aren't enough to shield them from the prejudice of others. This story explores the difference between being a polite neighbor and a loyal friend during difficult times. Best for ages 8 to 12, it provides a realistic, non-didactic look at how children can navigate racial tension and family conflict while standing up for what is right.
