Different and Wonderful: Raising Black Children in a Race-conscious Society

by Dr. Darlene Powell Hopson and Dr. Derek S. Hopson.
Fireside Press; $12.

Direct and clear, this book offers a positive, realistic approach to preparing African-American children to become productive and self-respecting (actually their advice holds true for children of any minority). Chapters focus on modeling, racial identification, sexuality, day-care, and family relations. Written by African-American psychologists who are husband and wife, Different and Wonderful also provides an insider’s view to African Americans’ discussions with each other about concerns for their children.
