I would recommend this book as part of lessons on celebrating diversity and highlighting the negative effects of racism for any age group. The story and the illustrations will appeal to younger classes, while the veiled allegory will lead to interesting discussion in older classes about the challenges of being different in society today … a great investment for any teacher, working as a resource for both English and ethics’ Stuart Purcell, Co Dublin</p>
