Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story about Racial Injustice

by Marianne Celano

Description

In this moving, child-centered story, a young narrator looks closely at what happens in their own community when racial injustice comes to the surface. As events unfold, the child grapples with confusion, fear, and growing awareness—learning how words, choices, and actions can either harm or help. Through a clear, age-appropriate lens, the book explores themes of fairness, empathy, and the importance of speaking up, while also honoring the resilience of those who seek justice. Marianne Celano’s accessible storytelling and emotionally honest approach make this a powerful starting point for conversations about race, equity, and how communities can change.
