About Say Their Names:
Say Their Names blends breathing and self-affirmation rituals while also acknowledging injustices suffered by
people of color. Written by Charisse Sims, an educator, this book teaches children to manage their emotions though
deep breaths, including breathing for those lost by racial violence and police brutality.
