Stand Tall

“I wish I looked the same as everyone else,” Buster said sadly with tears in his eyes, “then no one will call me a horrid name like that.”

Buster is sad because he is called a hurtful name in school. With a little help from his family, find out how he overcomes this challenge.

Stand Tall is a beautifully written and illustrated book that empowers families and children of black and mixed ethnicity, by talking about differences and encouraging them to identify why they should be celebrated.
