The guide aims to assist children in understanding that people have different physical traits, and how sometimes these traits are used to discriminate and harm people. The friendly text encourages children to name and share with an adult when they or a friend experience racial discrimination and take active roles in advocating for racial justice. Both guides are accompanied by photographs of children and adults, as well as the
Sesame Street characters playing an interactive role in engaging children in important topics.
