KANSAS CITY, Mo. â While children might be learning about Black History Month in school, experts said that is a great starting point to continue those conversations at home.
And talk to children about racism and racial injustice in an age-appropriate manner can be as simple as sitting down with the right books, according to local librarians.
Molly Doroba, an early learning librarian at the Kansas City Public Library, said for children 5 years old and younger, the focus should be on teaching empathy.
