Zachary is confused when students won't let his friend Jacob play ball because his skin color is different than theirs. He decides to lead the class on an imaginary trip to explore the sights, sounds, colors, and flavors of Diverse City. The children enjoy a variety of savory meals at Spice of Life Cafe, and share in different ways of creating with an array of colors and textures at The Art Spot. They hear different styles and moods of music in the streets and talk about the importance of each individual. When they return from their change in perspective, things are much more colorful and the children are free to appreciate their differences and enjoy playing together. This rhyming picture book encourages children to accept and celebrate one another while welcoming cultural diversity. A portion of the proceeds goes to support unity initiatives.
