An Ordinary Day
“An ordinary day” is a picture book about two boys who move through a typical day. It follows them at home, school, and through after school activities; however, it highlights how even in the mundane of experiences, Black children operate in a world that consciously and subconsciously promotes messaging about bias and inferiority.

Why We Exist
Most parenting advice was never designed with today’s families in mind. Families are navigating conversations about race, culture, identity, gender, disability, mental health, immigration, belonging, and neurodiversity every day. Yet many parents struggle to find guidance that reflects their lived experiences or prepares them for the world their children are growing up in.
ParentingCulture exists because every family deserves parenting resources that are grounded in psychological science, informed by culture, and practical enough for everyday life.
We don’t believe parents should have to choose between evidence-based parenting and culturally relevant parenting.
