Description
On the way to the park, Imani and her friends are learning about the beauty of diversity. Imani has curly hair while Alba has straight hair. And their skin tone is different, too! By acknowledging their differences, they tell us that we're like beautiful flowers in a garden—and that's awesome!
Bridging the distance between appreciation and acceptance is the first step towards universal harmony and cohesiveness. This book is perfect for children and parents who want to learn about diversity and inclusion in a fun, colorful way!
Advance Praise
"The Sandbox is an enlightened, uniquely creative story that represents the world in its authentic form of diversity. The children in this book are all from different races and cultures. Children are taught through this story to celebrate and embrace differences. The Sandbox joins in on the renaissance to counter and dispel negative imagery and literature of people of color.
Concepts at the beginning of a life can carry through a person’s lifetime. This is why it is critical to address simple messages of kindness and respect on the onset of children’s development. Through this book children and parents can open their minds to see the unique characteristics of one another as opposed to a stereotype.
—Eric Dyson, Ph.D., professor of Sociology at Georgetown University and author of Tears We Cannot Stop"
