An ordinary day is a picture book about two boys who move through a typical day. It follows them at home, school, and through after school activities; however, it highlights how even in the mundane of experiences, Black children operate in a world that consciously and subconsciously promotes messaging about bias and inferiority. The book subtly and tactfully demonstrates experiences with microaggressions and systemic disadvantage. This children’s book is an innovative approach to broaching discussions about racism and structural differences with children- a process that should start for all children early in childhood. Research demonstrates that children begin to notice race-based differences as early as 6 months of age and develop racial biases by 2-4 years of age. Therefore, conversations about the nuances of racial experiences should be had early and often. Children are often ready to discuss these difficult topics before we adults are ready to do so. This book is intended as a resource to broach the conversation with young children of all races and cultural backgrounds.

My children ask to read it nightly and have surprised me with the noticed details in this thoughtfully crafted narrative and beautifully illustrated pages. A story of two boys having a great day…underscoring the heartbreaking reality that micro aggressions are, have been and are expected to be a normalized part of the Black/brown American experience. The depicted slights didn’t ruin Malik’s day. The resilience of he and his family are subtly celebrated. This short and sweet story furthers an important antiracist practice by teaching (current and) future generations how to clock these micro aggressions and take seriously their insidious and cumulative effect. Thank you to the authors for this contribution to our library.

As a person of color, I was offended until I read the For Discussion questions. That's when I realized that it was a great start to show microaggressions and have a discussion on practices as how to recognize and handle it. This is good for everybody who wants help looking at how their biases can show up and how to curtail them. There is a lot here for teaching and awareness discussions. This will be one of my Mental Health Recovery from Trauma tools.
