Reflection and Comments
This book is excellent for introducing children to difficult topics. It makes use of illustrations that emphasise gender equality and diversity. Some pages include prompting questions that you can use to interact with your child and assess their comprehension of the material. Additional questions are provided at the back of the book to assist you in deciding what to ask and to encourage further participation. This book has an additional interactive element; asking children to name a feeling, recognise where the feeling is in their body and to allocate it a colour.
