Top seller ‘Antiracist Baby’ to be released as picture book

-

A picture book edition of Ibram X. Kendi’s “Antiracist Baby,” one of the country’s top-selling books since the death last month of George Floyd, is coming out July 14.

“Antiracist Baby” went on sale this week as a board book and has been part of a wave of works about race and racism that have been selling strongly as protests against Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapoli­s police spread worldwide.

Two other Kendi books are current best sellers, “How To Be an Antiracist” and “Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America,” winner of the National Book Award in 2016.

The picture book of “Antiracist Baby” will feature illustrati­ons by Ashley Lukashevsk­y, Penguin Young Readers announced.
