Something Happened in Our Town
A Child's Story about Racial Injustice
By Marianne Celano, Marietta Collins and Ann Hazzard
Something Happened in Our Town describes a traumatic event--a police shooting--from the perspective of a White family and an African American family. This story models productive conversations around racial-ethnic socialization and social-emotional learning, and provides an excellent platform for discussing social justice and race relations with children. Includes a "Note to Parents and Caregivers" with conversation guides, child-friendly vocabulary, and lists of related resources.
Loved by our collective!

It was published by the American Psychological Association and designed as a resource for parents and educators.
