by Alicia D. Williams (Author), Briana Mukodiri Uchendu (Illustrator), Alison Ridley (Translator)

A medida que un ni?o peque?o se convierte en un ni?o m?s grande, listo para conquistar el mundo, primero debe tener esa conversaci?n tan dif?cil y demasiado familiar para tantos estadounidenses negros sobre c?mo vivir en un mundo donde el racismo est? listo para conquistarte A TI...

Jay es el Sr. Energ?a. Est? lleno de vida y esp?ritu y s?lo quiere pasar tiempo con sus amigos. Piensa que los besos y los pellizcos en la mejilla de la abuela son asquerosos (aunque le gustan un poco), piensa que el carro de su padre es padr?simo y le encaaaanta cuando su madre lo mide y ve cu?nto m?s alto pueden llegar las marcas de l?piz en la pared.

Pero a medida que esas marcas de altura van subiendo poco a poco, el abuelo le advierte que no debe andar en grupos demasiado grandes con sus amigos. Y aunque la abuela no deja de pellizcarle las mejillas, ahora lo hace con tristeza--tiene miedo de que los dem?s no lo vean tan lindo ahora que es m?s grande. Y luego pap? le dice a Jay c?mo actuar si la polic?a alguna vez los detiene mientras conducen ese carro padr?simo.

Y Jay s?lo quiere ser un chamaco.

Lo que Jay no sabe es que esto es el comienzo de La Charla. La charla que todos los ni?os negros y marrones necesitan tener. La charla que podr?a significar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte y c?mo sobrevivir en un mundo racista. Contada de una manera apropiada para la edad, con una pausa perfecta para que los padres inserten sus propias conversaciones con sus hijos para acompa?ar las ilustraciones, La Charla es la forma id?nea de entrar en una conversaci?n que TODOS los ni?os necesitan tener para que, un d?a, deje de ser necesaria.
