The simplicity of this book makes the message so easy for children to absorb. And the pictures are truly worth a thousand words. Thank you for your visit, my friend.

Just going through the first paragraph you can truly feel that this hits right at home, and being a black young adult growing up in South Africa knowing very well what segregation has done to my people, this book kinda reignites the brutal nature of what we are so desperately trying to get past

This is an important topic that we need to teach our children to respect each other regardless of skin color or other features

While the mere need for this book acknowledges the segregation that exists, I applaud the author for addressing it by educating and enlightening young readers in a simple yet effective way.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I appreciate your comment.
