About The Author
Rita Bhandari
From a young age, Rita Bhandari’s French Canadian and South Asian background fostered in her a deep curiosity about race. Her biracial identity and lived experiences have fueled her curiosity about the science and history of race and inspired her to become an educator and advocate for equity and inclusion. Rita has been teaching for ten years and earned an Antiracism certificate from the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, three certificates from the Equity Literacy Institute and a professional Diversity and Inclusion certificate from Cornell University. Rita lives in Toronto, Canada, with her husband and children.
Who's Who
Meet the Compeers
The Ace Compeers provide parents and teachers with meaningful stories and educational discussion questions to help children better understand our world and the people in it. As a whole, this series teaches about equity and inclusion and nurtures children’s natural hunger for knowledge.
Using kid-friendly language and science, this first book of the series uses inquiry-based learning to encourage critical thinking and antiracist ideas. As you read on, you will meet Erika (she/her), Ang (he/him), Basma (she/her), Riley (they/them), and Manjeet (he/him).
Though the Ace Compeers are all different, they stand united together. There’s a reason why they call themselves the Compeers!
