"Am I black or white or am I American?" "Am I Asian or Caucasian or should I say I'm mixed?" "Why don't my eyes look like yours?" "Why do people always point out my 'different' hair?" Helping your child understand his mixed racial background -- whether a result of your interracial marriage or a transracial adoption -- can be daunting, especially when, whether out of honest appreciation, curiosity, or mean spiritedness, peers and strangers alike perceive their features to be "other." Drawing on psychological research and input from over sixty multiracial families, Does Anybody Else Look Like Me? addresses the special questions and concerns you face, explaining how we can best prepare multiracial children of all ages to confidently make their way in our color conscious world. From the books and toys to use in play with young children and simple scripts to help them gracefully react to insensitive comments at school, to advice on guiding older children toward an un-flappable sense of self, this is the first book to outline how, exactly, to deflect the objectifying and discomforting attention multiracial children often receive. Full of powerful stories and expert counsel. Does Anybody Else Look Like Me? will be the book you look to for understanding and insight as you strive to raise your children in our changing world.
