An illustrated handbook to learn everything about diversity and how it enriches us. Divided into four sections, focusing on who we are, the people we are bound to, how being different makes us all the same and how travelling helps us rethink the world and how we inhabit it, This Book Is Anti-Racist combines ideas and suggestions with an easy language. Gud’s illustrations of Robin, the alien-protagonist, frame the narration and allow kids of every age to empathize with his adventures and better understand how walking a mile in someone’s shoes can change everything. Notions and explanations are often enriched by personal experiences and testimonies and by songs and poems the kids are familiar with, giving the narration a tridimensional shape. Sections on LGBTQ+ rights and digital communication transport a theoretical approach into today’s issues and help kids face relatively new problems like gender discrimination and cyber bullying.
