A Hot Wheels take on a hot button issue. This is the story of a white car and a black car who take part in the same race, but face different rules and obstacles.

Written by a clinical social worker and child therapist, and edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars aims to help parents and educators start a conversation about bias and prejudice with bonus notes and activities. Looks like a children's book, but the reading level here is a lot more suitable for adults.

Read if you: love a good metaphor. Your dreams are cereal, your hopes an expired carton of milk.
