(3) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Gal. A white teacher shares a childhood memory with his students about the time his Black friend was turned away from a birthday party because of racism. A quiet act of allyship becomes a lifelong promise to make everyone feel welcome. Loose pencil, ink, and watercolor illustrations lend the story a sketchlike intimacy that mirrors its emotional depth. The author’s note adds moving context, showing how small moments can spark lasting change.
