Part of the Children in Our World Series, originally written in English and translated into Italian. In simple, straightforward language, Spilsbury explains what racism, prejudice and intolerance are. She addresses schoolyard taunts and hate crimes and bombings in a way that helps to connect the dots between these expressions of intolerance. And, importantly, she brings the lesson forward to activism and the things we can each do to combat bias. The illustrations are as important as the text, providing a visual representation of diversity and the universality of these problems.
