Summary:
Prejudice takes many forms: sexism, racism, and ageism. It can be intolerance to those with different religions, bodies, sexual preference, or gender identity. Additionally, prejudices can sometimes be hard to identify in one's self since they are often formed from the society in which we live. This book is an essential part of any young reader's library. The main text not only explains common kinds of prejudice, but also teaches age-appropriate ways to combat prejudice in kids' lives and communities.
