The resource is aimed at “to empower children to work towards racial equality and inspire healthy, open, and honest discussion”.

It contains advice, resources and tips for families to explore black history, heritage and culture and covers topics including the importance of black history month; rethinking how we see Africa and thinking about Windrush.

Author Lily Pryer, head of content at Yoopies, said: “Participating in Black History Month is important as it encourages us to dedicate a month to educating ourselves about the multifaceted history of black culture and civilisations, aspects that many of us did not get introduced to in school, and to challenge the oversimplification of black history within society.”
