Summary

A medida que un niño pequeño se convierte en un niño más grande, listo para conquistar el mundo, primero debe tener esa conversación tan difícil y demasiado familiar para tantos estadounidenses negros sobre cómo vivir en un mundo donde el racismo está listo para conquistarte A TI...

Jay es el Sr. Energía. Está lleno de vida y espíritu y sólo quiere pasar tiempo con sus amigos. Piensa que los besos y los pellizcos en la mejilla de la abuela son asquerosos (aunque le gustan un poco), piensa que el carro de su padre es padrísimo y le encaaaanta cuando su madre lo mide y ve cuánto más alto pueden llegar las marcas de lápiz en la pared.

Pero a medida que esas marcas de altura van subiendo poco a poco, el abuelo le advierte que no debe andar en grupos demasiado grandes con sus amigos. Y aunque la abuela no deja de pellizcarle las mejillas, ahora lo hace con tristeza—tiene miedo de que los demás no lo vean tan lindo ahora que es más grande. Y luego papá le dice a Jay cómo actuar si la policía alguna vez los detiene mientras conducen ese carro padrísimo.

Y Jay sólo quiere ser un chamaco.

Lo que Jay no sabe es que esto es el comienzo de La Charla. La charla que todos los niños negros y marrones necesitan tener. La charla que podría significar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte y cómo sobrevivir en un mundo racista. Contada de una manera apropiada para la edad, con una pausa perfecta para que los padres inserten sus propias conversaciones con sus hijos para acompañar las ilustraciones, La Charla es la forma idónea de entrar en una conversación que TODOS los niños necesitan tener para que, un día, deje de ser necesaria.
