I am looking for books for two different purposes and wonder if anyone here might have recommendations.
First, I would like to find a book on racial and ethnic diversity. I would like for it to be age-appropriate for a six year old; have beautiful pictures; peaceful words; I would like for it to focus on the ideas that variety is wonderful and beautiful, and that discrimination and prejudice sometimes occur and are unkind, unfair, and hurtful. I would like to avoid anything that includes mention of slavery as I am not ready to cover that with him yet. I would also like for it to be secular, with no mention of "all God's children" or anything like that. But I would not mind at all for it to say something about the human spirit being common to all of us.
Second, I would like to find a book on diversity of belief systems that is appropriate for a six year old, and that includes atheism, agnosticism, and earth-focused beliefs as well as the major religions. I would like for the main idea to be that people have all sorts of different beliefs, and that it's okay for people to have their own ideas, and we do not need to argue or agree with each other in these areas, only to respect each other and live together peacefully.
Do these books exist ?
Many thanks !
