The document discusses diversity and inclusion for children. It encourages children to celebrate their unique identities and appreciate differences in others. Children are asked to consider their interests, backgrounds, and features to create a personal profile. The document also prompts children to observe diversity in their classrooms, books, and animals to understand that while people vary, differences should be welcomed rather than seen as "bad."

1. A Presentation on Diversity for Children:
The library is a welcoming place. We help and support a range of diverse groups.
Where are you from, are you a boy or a girl, what age are you, what are your interests, do you
like to play sport for example? Why don’t you answer these questions and create a profile that
you can show your parents! Also ask yourself if you are happy with these features, if you see any
features in your friends that you would like.
The next time you are in your classroom or at the zoo, look around at how different everyone is.
For example, a Tiger has lines on its body and a Cheetah has spots. This is the same with
humans, we are all different, some people speak English, others speak French or Chinese or
some other language. Some people are Christian, some are Jewish and others don’t believe in a
god.
So, the next time you go and choose a book from the library, look to see what it is and look to
see what someone else in your class is reading. This will show you that nobody is the same and
that this is not bad. It isn’t bad if you are a boy and you love to read about pirates and if you are a
girl and love to read about princesses such as Cinderella.
Are you a Tiger or a Cheetah?

2. When you choose one of these animals, why don’t you create a mask and make a presentation in
class on this animal? Your teacher’s are going to love you!
