If a Child
A thought-provoking and heart-warming story about welcoming differences and learning to see the world through different eyes.
If a child doesn’t follow the “rules” of society – if they are shy, always late, see things their own way, don’t believe what everyone else believes in – they might be labelled as “wrong”. But if you take a closer look, you might discover that they are just different, and that their world is full of wonders to discover. But first, you must give up your prejudices, open your mind, and take a step towards the other.
The visual impact given by the drawings mixed with scarce but effective words, provides the reader with the necessary tools to face one of the many taboos in our society: diversity. Teaching children that being different isn’t bad means giving them the right to express themselves, and by doing so, we are also supplying them the basis for a better future.
