Read-Aloud: Something Happened in Our Town by Ann Hazzard, Marianne Celano, and Marietta Collins

Today’s Art Apart Read-Aloud: Something Happened in Our Town by Ann Hazzard, Marianne Celano, and Marietta Collins

Something Happened in Our Town follows two families — one White, one Black — as they discuss a police shooting of a Black man in their community. 

The story aims to answer children’s questions about such traumatic events, and to help children identify and counter racial injustice in their own lives.
