Antiracist Baby is a 2020 children's book written by Ibram X. Kendi and illustrated by Ashley Lukashevsky. The book, inspired by the author's four-year-old daughter,[1] was conceived as a tool for discussing racism with young children.[2][3] The book proposes nine steps for discussing racism, with the ultimate goal of teaching children to be antiracist.[4][5] The book states that "Antiracist Baby is bred not born. Antiracist Baby is raised to make society transform" and that a choice is necessary: "babies are taught to be racist or antiracist—there's no neutrality."[6]
