Description
From noted parenting expert and New York Times bestselling author Denene Millner comes the definitive book about parenting African American children.
For over a decade, national parenting expert and bestselling author Denene Millner has published thought-provoking, insightful, and wickedly funny commentary about motherhood on her critically acclaimed website, MyBrownBaby.com. The site, hailed a "must-read" by The New York Times, speaks to the experiences, joys, fears, and triumphs of African American motherhood.
After publishing almost 2,000 posts aimed at lifting the voices of parents of color, Millner has now curated a collection of the website's most important and insightful essays offering perspectives on issues from birthing while Black to negotiating discipline to preparing children for racism.
Full of essays that readers of all backgrounds will find provocative, My Brown Baby acknowledges that there absolutely are issues that Black parents must deal with that white parents never have to confront if they're not raising brown children. This book chronicles these differences with open arms, a lot of love, and the deep belief that though we may come from separate places and have different backgrounds, all parents want the same things for our families-and especially for our children.
