Being different and understanding your true self is one of the most challenging attributes children can develop.
‘Looking Beyond Colours’ is a rhyming story based on the observations of a young child. The story talks about the young boy’s experience in school to understand his identity and culture and how he tries to fit into society. This exciting book is a beautifully crafted tale which will make children realise their self-worth and understand how sharing experiences can connect people from diverse backgrounds.
If you are looking for a book to teach about diversity, inclusion and multiculturalism, this book will surely give you a starting point for discussions in the classroom or at home.
My Review:
This is a fun, rhyming story about a boy’s identity, culture, and efforts to fit in. It’s a great starting point for class or family discussions about diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism. The beautifully written story has awesome illustrations and uses catchy, poetic writing to showcase values like kindness. I recommend it to any family or classroom.
