A beautiful picture book that explores what racism and intolerance are and how they affect children all over the world

Sensitively illustrated by award-winning artist Hanane Kai

The Children in Our World non-fiction picture book series helps children make

sense of the larger issues and crises that dominate the news in a

sensitive and appropriate manner.

With relatable comparisons, carefully

researched text and striking illustrations, children can begin to

understand what racism and intolerance are, how they affect children, adults and daily life, and how readers can help.

Where issues aren't

appropriate to describe in words, award-winning illustrator, Hanane Kai, uses striking and sensitive

illustrations help children visualise they ways in which racism and intolerance affect people all around the world with

images that are suited to their age and disposition.

The series

forms an excellent cross-curricular resource that looks at refugees, war, poverty and racism making them ideal for tying into discussions on race, ethnicity

and current affairs.

Words and pictures combine to excellent effect ... an excellent way to develop empathy and understanding - Parents In Touch

Louise Spilsbury (Author) Award-winning author Louise Spilsbury, who also writes under the name Louise Kay Stewart, has written over 250 books for young people on a wide range of exciting subjects. She loves writing children's books as it gives her the chance to keep learning about new stuff. She lives and works near the coast in South Devon and loves to walk on the beach and swim in the sea after work. Louise won The English Association Margaret Mallett Award for Children's Non-Fiction 2019 for Rebel Voices: the rise of votes for women. Hanane Kai (Illustrator) Hanane is obsessed with colours, textures and lighting. What she loves doing the most is creating worlds where the tactile melts with the digital. Her favourite colour is turquoise, and Hanane loves tea, cooking, and gardening - she dreams of a turquoise plant. Based in Lebanon, Hanane first ventured off as a Graphic Designer (with a BA degree from NDU), then pursued her passion for illustration, photography and miniature set design. She expresses herself through the visuals she creates, and hopes with every illustration to touch her audience, leaving them with a certain feeling or message. In 2016, Tongue Twisters, written by Fatima Sharafeddine and illustrated by Hanane Kai, won the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi New Horizons award, which celebrates excellence in children's publishing in developing countries.
