through 20 chapters that spark introspection, reveal the origins of
racism that we are still experiencing and give you the courage and
power to undo it. Each lesson builds on the previous one as you
learn more about yourself and racial oppression. An activity at the
end of every chapter gets you thinking and helps you grow with the
knowledge. All you need is a pen and paper. Author Tiffany Jewell,
an anti-bias, anti-racist educator and activist, builds solidarity
beginning with the language she chooses - using gender neutral
words to honour everyone who reads the book. Illustrator Aurelia

vibrancy. After examining the concepts of social identity, race,
ethnicity and racism, learn about some of the ways people of
different races have been oppressed, from indigenous Americans and
Australians being sent to boarding school to be 'civilized' to a
generation of Caribbean immigrants once welcomed to the UK being
threatened with deportation by strict immigration laws. Find hope
in stories of strength, love, joy and revolution that are part of
our history, too, with such figures as the former slave Toussaint
Louverture, who led a rebellion against white planters that
eventually led to Haiti's independence, and Yuri Kochiyama, who,
after spending time in an internment camp for Japanese Americans
during WWII, dedicated her life to supporting political prisoners
and advocating reparations for those wrongfully interned. Learn
language and phrases to interrupt and disrupt racism. So, when you
hear a microaggression or racial slur, you'll know how to act next
time. This book is written for EVERYONE who lives in this
racialised society-including the young person who doesn't know how
to speak up to the racist adults in their life, the kid who has
lost themself at times trying to fit into the dominant culture, the
children who have been harmed (physically and emotionally) because
no one stood up for them or they couldn't stand up for themselves
and also for their families, teachers and administrators. With this
book, be empowered to actively defy racism and xenophobia to create
a community (large and small) that truly honours everyone.
This practical guide encourages teenagers to embrace happiness and
make steps towards a more fulfilled life by challenging their
critical inner voice. It offers them the tools to build their
self-esteem, increase motivation, and find the courage to face new
challenges and embrace new opportunities.

great information, fun activities and top tips to help your child

more about big feelings and the physical sensations they experience
as a result. This practical guide combines cognitive behavioural
therapy and mindfulness methods with simple activities to help your
child develop the skills to articulate their feelings and regulate

understanding the animals are, the meaner he becomes. Rabbit is
confused: Bear has always been able to fix their problems in the
past - but maybe this time he needs to ask for help from someone
else. Does Wolf have the answer to the bad king's demands ... or
will Rabbit and the other animals find the solution within
themselves? From novelist and playwright Julian Gough, and the

friends, enemies, and how to avoid being pooped on by an icebear.

fiction, a laugh-out-loud story of rabbit and wolf and bear, of
avalanches and snowmen. The sort of story that makes you want to
send your children to bed early, so you can read it to them.' Neil
Gaiman Read all the Rabbit and Bear books: 1. Rabbit's Bad Habits
