Around the World

Around the World celebrates racial equality, diversity, acceptance and inclusion. In all the 'big' ways (love, kindness, empathy) humans are the same. Our 'little' differences make us unique but our 'sameness' makes us part of the human race. Discussion questions for parents, caregivers and educators included. Suitable for ages 2 to 6. This book is part of the 'Little BIG Chats' series.

The Little BIG Chats series of 12 books has been written to assist parents, caregivers and educators in having open and age-appropriate conversations with early learners around crucial and, at times, 'tough' topics. And what better way than using children's picture books! Some pages will have questions for children to interact with and discuss. Feel free to use these questions and the Discussion Questions provided on the inside back cover of each book to delve into the topic being explored. Stop at any time to unpack the text together; and try to follow the child's lead to wherever that conversation may take you!
