In this episode, I talk with Lynnette Mawhinney, PhD, award winning author and professor about her new children's book, Lulu the One and Only. We discuss how the main character, Lulu handles the question of "what are you?", the inspiration for writing the book, how the book explores the experience of mixed-race children, how the book addresses universal issues of self-love and identity and provides tools to help parent discuss topics of race and racial identity. Lynnette also shares information about a free curriculum and activity guide that parents and educators can use in connection with Lulu the One and Only.
