    About this ebook

    Unfortunately, many children encounter prejudice, discrimination and racism in their daily lives. Because these can be tricky topics to address constructively, some adults are uncomfortable having an enlightening discussion about them with children who are important to them. In this book, the authors focus on relevant episodes in the life of one girl to provide examples of the kinds of pain and frustration a child might experience when they encounter this kind of behavior. With input from trusted parents, she learns the meaning of these negative words. She also has the chance to hear quotations about these topics from some of the greatest minds in the history of the world. By contemplating the ideas presented in this book, an adult can help a child better determine the kinds of choices they can make to address these kinds of challenges. Rather than focusing on factors outside our control, the basic approach of this book is to attempt to empower children to choose to think and act in ways that are likely to help them experience more inner peace and happiness. At the end of the book, in addition to multiple powerful quotations, the reader can find links to over two dozen sites or articles that can answer questions and/or stimulate further candid conversation about these topics.

      Foreword

      Each title in this expanding collection of children's books is intended to help children between the ages of about seven and ten begin to deal with one of the major challenges a person may encounter as she or he attempts to grow up. The series began in response to one author's struggle to make sense of the death of his parents and a loving sister along with his own cancer battle. It became clear that as difficult as it can be for an adult to develop healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stressors and potentially-traumatizing situations, it can be even more troublesome for children to adjust to unexpected, unwanted changes in their environments or in their lives.

      Important Note and Warning to Adult Readers: The simple, straightforward approach of this book is not intended to trivialize the seriousness of potentially-painful events. As experienced professionals who care greatly about children’s needs, the authors attempt to shed light on topics that have remained in too much darkness.
