Opinion: This adult activity book is funny -- but its authors are definitely not joking

W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz, co-authors of the new book "Do the Work! An Antiracist Activity Book," talk to CNN Opinion about creating a book that can motivate adults -- in this topsy-turvy, pandemic-riddled, just-make-the-headlines-stop world -- to do something as overwhelming as fighting racism.

When those two people are W. Kamau Bell, host of CNN's "United Shades of America," and Kate Schatz, author of the best-selling "Rad Women" children's books, you get "Do the Work! An Antiracist Activity Book" (Workman Publishing) -- a workbook for adults filled with exercises, coloring pages, information about historical figures, lists of things (big and small) you can do to change the world, guidance on how to have tough conversations (with yourself, your family, your colleagues and your kids) and most of all, pages and pages of witty dialogue between its authors.
