Book Reviews of Does Anybody Else Look Like Me?: A Parent's Guide To Raising Multiracial Children
Book Review: Just what the doctor ordered
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Multiracial teen this book helped me navigate the strange waters I found myself drowning in. It doesn't read like a unrealistic "turn that frown upside down" Dr. Seuss book; instead approaches the subject in a straight forward intelligent manner. Contains IMO the most valid sense of what makes the difference between a healthy self identify and self hate/defensive racism (when you come to loathe/distance yourself from a group to protect yourself from further harm)in mixed race kids. All my friends now starting multi hued families that come to me for advice , receive this book as a gift. As I wish some kind soul would've done for my parents.
I strongly recommend this book to parents of multiracial children *especially if your child will garner a lot of (confusing/unwanted) attention based on their physical differences from their peers/ or physical comparison to their parents* You can't distract them with toys/games to keep them from processing incidents or procrastinate addressing the issue, forever. Children are more observant then we give them credit for; and the questions that go unanswered speak volumes.
It's also a cathartic read for us mixed adult that had to figure it out on our own. It shed a lot of light on how I processed and internalized confusing/awkward events as a child and convinced me to let go of some of the child-like logic/hang ups still effecting me.
The only way to deal with some complications are to face them in the light of day for what they are and your options. We do the best we have with the tools we have at the moment. Sometimes the quick fixes we use to cope, can become a larger problems in the future; & if we don't evolve our thinking and problem solving skills. This book prompted the catalyst that took me from tragic little mixed girl to the grounded multi ethnic woman I am today. Give the book a try, it'll be money and time well spent.
