SKIN DEEP "Jennifer is the only girl with white skin in her class. This isn't a fact that she finds very important, but her brother James does. James is a bully, and worse, he judges people by the colour of their skin. Jennifer decides to teach him a lesson he'll never forget." In a style that has captivated audiences around the world, Bowvayne weaves a wonderful tale of magic and humour that will leave you gasping with wonder and giggling aloud. Skin Deep encourages racial harmony and incorporates positive messages for greater understanding of different creeds and cultures. 'Skin Deep helps bring the timeless message of tolerance
and respect for others and reminds us in a unique way that when we judge
others by the colour of their skin we diminish and degrade ourselves.
But the beauty of Skin Deep and Bowvayne's other books is that they
will be read with pleasure and excitement many decades from now by just
as many children and adults, perhaps even more than those who enjoy
them today.' The Hon. Alexander Downer MP, the Australian Minister for
Foreign Affairs. Recommended reading age: 8+ |
