Gender Equality VALUE BUNDLE

No Difference Between Us

Jess and Ben are twins. Jess is a girl and Ben is a boy but in all the BIG ways, there is NO difference between them!

Combining cheerful illustrations and a familiar narrative, this book will help children to understand that, fundamentally, people are more the same than they are different. Children are visual learners and the match between illustrations and text in this story will assist them in reocgnizing that we are all human – everyone feels, and everyone has hopes and dreams. Our gender should never label us or limit our potential.

Throughout the text, open-ended questions are provided so children can voice their own experiences. Further in-depth Discussion Questions are provided encouraging the reader and the child to consider each scenario and engage with the message.

The Not-So-Perfect Princess and the Not-So-Dreadful Dragon

Meet the amazing Princess Petal! Who is absolutely NOT what you would expect a 'perfect' princess to be.

In fact, Princess Petal is quite the opposite. Her princess dresses are torn and scruffy, she wears an old woolly hat instead of a golden crown and she is very (very) loud. So when Princess Petal meets a fire-breathing dragon while out hiking in the forest, both are in for a bit of a shock!

An enchanting tale about friendship, diversity, acceptance and being exactly who we are meant to be. The moral behind this story is imperative yet simple: we are all different and that's okay, making judgements and assumptions about people is NOT okay, and all genders should be treated equally.

Comprehensive Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators are included to help unpack this important topic with children.
