The violence and division that stem from issues of race and justice are particularly weighty. This heaviness has caused me to examine my own attitudes and actions regarding racial reconciliation and justice and forced me to consider how this impacts my parenting.

One of their go-to picks these days is the Little Golden Book classic *[Home For a Bunny](https://www.amazon.com/Home-Bunny-Little-Golden-Book/dp/0307930092/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=home+for+bunny&qid=1583255899&sr=8-1)* by Margaret Wise Brown (author of the classics *[Goodnight Moon](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0064430170/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0)* and *[The Runaway Bunny](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0064430189/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i1)*).
