I Hate That I Have To Tell You

I Hate That I Have To Tell You is the constant conversations parents of color, especially Black parents, must have with their children about how to handle encounters with police, but knowing in the end, it doesn’t always matter. 


Is this children’s book controversial? Absolutely! But pretending this isn’t a reality has done more harm than good, and if change truly begins with the children, this book, and the parents ready to read it and talk about it honestly with their children, will be another step toward a more just future.
