Is there really a human race? By Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell
I bought this book at a book fair and I loved it. I didn't know that Jamie Lee Curtis was also a writer, i knew she was an actor. The book is viewed in a child's perspective, he doesn't know at first what a human race is. He thinks it's a race to see who wins. The book gives examples of the child's thoughts, it's pretty funny what he thinks. His mom in the end sits down and explains. I really enjoy this book my seven year old son once told a friend of Ming that was African American, "Why are you so dark?" My friend replied "Because I'm a different race." My son said, "I can race!" and started running around the couch. This book reminded me of my son. Here's the website:http://www.jamieleecurtisbooks.com/humanrace.html
It sounds like a very gentle way to help children understand the differences of those around us. Thanks for the blog.
