Reviews" Jennifer and Matthew show us what is possible when educators listen to children, are brave, and actively engage in the difficult conversations that our youngest children are already having about race, identity and social issues. It is our responsibility as educators to have meaningful race conversations with our youngest learners and guide them into these difficult conversations, not as isolated lessons, but as a way of being and living in our classroom communities. We're Gonna Keep on Talking shows us how we can trust the children and ourselves to have race conversations, why they are so critical, and is full of honest and relatable stories about having these conversations in our classrooms. This book has a sense of urgency running through it and will support you as you go into your classroom and "keep on talking" with your children. We cannot step back from these conversations as there is not a minute to waste. Our children, our communities and our world deserve spaces where meaningful race conversations are encouraged, supported and celebrated. This book will be the one you carry with you in your school bag, refer to often and take Matt and Jen with you into your classroom as you have these courageous and essential conversations with learners from Pre-K to upper elementary." - Katie Keier, PreK teacher and co-author of Catching Readers Before They Fall: Supporting Readers Who Struggle, K-4, "More than ever, we need educators brave enough to engage students in conversations that will help them expand their perspectives and worldviews. Kay and Orr are those educators, and with this book, they have gifted the field with their insights and knowledge." --Dr. Val Brown, educator and founder of #ClearTheAir, "With We're Gonna Keep on Talking , Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr equip elementary teachers with something we've been in search of for a long time: the tools and know-how to engage our young students in meaningful conversations about race in our classrooms. This is a book I will turn to again and again to inform my practice. More importantly, it will give all of us the opportunity to grapple with the type of thinking and discussions that will ultimately lead us all, students and teachers alike, to co-create a more just world. Thank you, Matt and Jennifer!" --Christina Nosek, co-author of To Know and Nurture a Reader, "Couldn't put it down! Nineteen years as an elementary educator and there hasn't been a year where inquiries around race did not arise. This book is a guide to support how we prepare our students at the youngest ages to lovingly negotiate race in the classroom." --Lynsey Burkins, elementary educator
