The Kids' Book of Diversity: Empathy, Kindness and Respect for Differences (The Kids' Books of Social Emotional Learning)

Description

Help children understand differences, feel good about themselves, and welcome others. Children notice differences. They have questions about how people look, speak, live, and do things. The Kids’ Book of Diversity helps you talk about those questions with kindness and curiosity. Written for children ages 3–8 , the book follows Daniela and Dustin as they meet a new child at school. Together, they explore differences in homes, families, languages, traditions, skin colors, abilities, feelings, and interests. Co-authored by a chartered educational psychologist , it uses clear language and warm watercolor illustrations to show children that there are many ways to be—and that everyone belongs. Inside you’ll find: Questions to talk about together , inviting children to share what makes them who they are. Simple phrases children can use to invite someone to play, respond to unkind comments, and ask a grown-up for help. Six activity pages: All About Me, My Strengths, Same and Different, Inclusion Challenge, My Culture and Traditions, and Welcoming Words. Pages may be copied for personal or classroom use. Read it together at home, share it at circle time, or use it in counseling sessions and social-emotional learning lessons for PreK–2. A reassuring reminder that it’s wonderful to be yourself—and that kindness can start with saying hello.
