Synopsis

A young girl learns about diversity and pluralism, and her identity and place in the world.

We live in a diverse and pluralist world where teaching young children to appreciate and celebrate diversity is incumbent upon all parents and schools. Often, a fun and age-appropriate way to introduce difficult concepts is by observing nature. In this beautifully illustrated book with a clear and thought-provoking message for young readers, two young girls learn that they are different but also have plenty in common, and it's the differences that make this world a special place. It is a heartwarming tale of identity, friendship and self-acceptance.

À propos de l'auteur

Shamim Murji found her experiences as a classroom teacher for 25 years (KG-Gr.8) most enjoyable as a teacher, mentor and learner. She also had opportunities to travel as a volunteer teacher and mentor to Liberia, Ghana and Uganda as a participant and team leader for Project Overseas, which is a Canadian Teachers' Federation and Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario joint venture to provide free quality professional development to teachers in the developing countries. From 2016-2017 she was seconded by the Ontario Ministry of Education to the Aga Khan Academy in Maputo. Her work in the summer of 2018 with street kids in Jeevapur, a small village in Gujarat, also confirmed to her the importance of English literacy as a life skill. Shamim lives with her husband in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
