In our increasingly global and multicultural society it is important for children to develop a better understanding of self and others. Learning to live respectfully together and benefit from one another’s wisdom and experiences is beneficial to all. I wrote this story to give parents and teachers key talking points that can help children understand the issues around diversity. Developing this early ongoing dialogue with children will help them to develop a better insight into self, which in turn will help them appreciate both the similarities and differences in others.
Presenting this story in rhyme lets your child experience the rhythm of language. It promotes reading and speaking with expression and animated voices, as it provides a sense of security and confidence through its rhythm and predictability. The bright colorful images combined with the rhyming text are a winning combination that will capture and hold your child’s interest.
Overall, Amazing Rhyme: It’s OK To Be Me, of the Read And Rhyme Book series will provide a positive environment that promotes discussion about understanding bias and attitudes. The Parent Pages included in this book contain key talking points on diversity, and a hands-on activity that will help to enrich your child’s rhyming skills. So sit back and relax while you enjoy this unique learning experience with your child.
