An Ordinary Day
Book •
An Ordinary Day is a children's picture book co-authored by Dr. Anjali Ferguson that follows a Black child and a white child through their first day of kindergarten, showing parallel moments that feel similar but are experienced differently because of bias.
The book uses accessible illustrations and evidence-backed examples to highlight how everyday microaggressions accumulate and affect children’s wellbeing.
It includes a glossary and discussion prompts to help families talk about bias, privilege, and identity with young children.
The authors intentionally avoid centering only on trauma, instead using ordinary moments to spark conversations and build empathy.
The book is designed for families, educators, and caregivers to support early racial socialization and culturally responsive parenting.
