Everyone is Equal

Everyone is Equal is a simple introduction to gender equality, diversity, acceptance and inclusion. Children need to understand that everyone has the right to be who they want to be - regardless of their gender, race, appearance or ability. Discussion questions for parents, caregivers and educators included. Suitable for ages 2 to 6. This book is part of the Little BIG Chats series.

The Little BIG Chats series has been written to assist parents, caregivers and educators to have open and age-appropriate conversations with early learners around crucial, and yet at times, 'tough' topics. And what better way than using children's picture books! Some pages will have questions for your child to interact with and discuss. Feel free to use these questions and the Discussion Questions provided on the inside back cover of each book to help you assist your child with the topic being explored. Stop at any time to unpack the text together; and try to follow your child's lead wherever that conversation may take you!

Suitable for ages 2 to 6.
