Strictly No Elephants?

Amazing how one can be inspired by reading a child’s picture book. In “Strictly No Elephants,” the children with exotic pets were not allowed into the pet club. So, they build their own club where everyone was welcomed. A great lesson on the feeling of being left out and of acceptance.

That’s the kind of stories children need.

Indeed! I’ve been struggling to find my grand babies good books on diversity and acceptance. Really good ones are hard to find. 😦

    If they like gender equality books, remind them to read “The Paper Bag Princess” by Robert Munsch. It is definitely not your standard fairytale book – one of my favorites! 😉
