On the Playground: Our First Talk About Prejudice focuses on introducing children to the complex topic of prejudice.
Crafted around a narrative between a grade-school-aged child and an adult, this inquiry-focused book will help children shape their understanding of diversity so they are better prepared to understand, and question, prejudice witnessed around them in their day-to-day lives and in the media. Dr. Jillian Roberts discusses types of discrimination children notice, what prejudice means, why it's not okay, how to stand up against it and how kids can spread a message of inclusion and acceptance in the world around them.
“This story is an excellent teaching tool for building communication skills that students can use to learn about others and develop caring behaviours.”
