Different and Wonderful: Raising Black Children in a Race-Conscious Society

As a mother of 4 bi racial children, I must say, this is going to be my Parental Bible! As far as I'm concerned my children did come with a manual and THIS BOOK IS IT!I am so pleased and keep reading it over and over again. I have learned so much and am grateful to the authors for writing such a fine book of parenting. As my children grow I will have this book on hand for them to read and most likely pass it on to them when they become parents, many years from now.

This is an excellent book with wonderful information. As a biracial woman married to a white man and raising a black child, it answered all of my questions and then some... A valuable book that I will treasure forever. Thank you!!!

I thought the book Different and Wonderful was an excellent book. I came across this book at the Philadelphia Free Library,when I was doing a report on Afro-American children development and socialization process. I thought the book had a lot of resourceful information about raising Afro-American children as well as giving resourceful information to Afro-American Parents on how to look at themselves and checking themselves as Afro-American parents.I am not a parent yet, but I will be oneday.I am very glad that I had came across this book because, I know that I will be a better Afro-American parent, when I do decide to raise my Afro-American children. Also, this book has equiped me with stronger child rearig practices on how to deal with all ages of Afro-American children.
