People struggle so much to empathize with others. If you can't see life from another person's perspective because you are too involved with what you feel, think, want you will never be able to understand, respect, or have compassion for others. The sooner we can teach children the value of other people and their similarities, the better.dbulkley wrote: ↑26 Jul 2018, 20:41 This one is definitely good for diversity. This is also a good one for parents to read to their children. It is important for children to treat all races the same and not have any bias towards one or the other. I don't understand why there are so many cliches in cultures and why everyone is judgemental. We are all human and have emotions, we need to teach the children of the world differently than ever before. This book is a step in the right direction.

The subtle way in which Base presents lessons and values is commendable. I like how many she was able to incorporate in what appears to be a very simplistic children's book.Nma26 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2018, 10:20 Actually, this subtle message, would most likely be noticed by adults and not children.Children with their carefree and innocent attitude, don't actually select children they interact with, unless if taught by their parents or adults.All the same, it was nice the author included this subtle message.

Of coarse this book will help a lot to fight against racial differences. We all should participate in it.

I definitely agree with this! I took me forever to graduate from watching cartoons to live action television, because all the actors were caucasian and I couldn't tell them apart! (By the way, I myself am a white girl...)ScoutWrites wrote: ↑09 Jul 2018, 20:22 I think it's important that Toni's friends are different ethnicities, not necessarily because kids will notice this, but because I think they would notice if all the characters were the same. Maybe not consciously, but it would have a subconscious effect, and we definitely shouldn't be communicating to our children that they can only be friends with people who look like them.
It felt like the same four actors/actresses were in every tv show and film. Compared to that, I at least got some Asian and black characters in my cartoons (and if all else failed, the characters always wore the same clothes, so I could tell them apart by that! )
Even now I notice that I drift to shows where the characters all look different. I don't remember what kind of books I read when I was little, but I'm sure there were plenty of books like Toni the Superhero!
