The ‘Why in the World’ series introduces citizenship topics in a sensitive way with heartfelt illustrations, helping to connect children’s own experiences to larger issues in the world
We are all humans. Everyone has the right to be treated equally. So why is there racism? This book explains what racism is, from unkind words in the playground, to racist behaviour around the world. It looks at ways we can all support each other to ensure that everyone feels included.
