Simon And The Sad Salad By Teigan Margetts - Ethicool Kid's Books

Who doesn't love a class party?!? No one. Well, except for Simon. And the reasons why aren't what you'd expect... Simon and the Sad Salad is a touching story about bullying, disadvantage and what we can all do to help those less fortunate than ourselves. A kids' book that is essential reading in a world where inequality is everywhere we look. Join Simon, and the superhero of the day, Asha, as they celebrate at their annual class party. Everyone brings something delicious and extravagant to the party, but not Simon. Asha heads off on a noble journey to discover why … and what she finds changes how she behaves, once and for all. This evocative and moving book encourages empathy, understanding, and ultimately sharing and caring in children - and in all who read it. A stark reminder of the challenges some children face at school, this story shows us what we can all do about it.

Class parties are the best! Everyone brings lots of food, and eats and eats and eats. One girl in the class, Asha, is bringing sushi to the class party. Another boy, Arjun, is bringing samosas. And Charlotte, the class captain, is bringing cupcakes with everyone's names on them. But one boy, Simon, can't bring very much at all. He's bringing salad. But it isn't just any salad, it's a very sad looking salad, indeed... Praise for Simon and the Sad Salad "This book is what the world needs right now.

The potential of little ones Ethicool was founded in 2020 by Australian husband and wife team, Teigan Margetts and Stuart French. When tucking their two young sons into bed every night, they would often invent stories about the world's big issues, with their little ones playing the starring role of saving the day. They quickly realised that their children not only understood the issues, but wanted to do more about them. Wanting to teach their sons more, Teigan and Stu turned to children's books. But, as they browsed through the hundreds of books they owned, they couldn't find a single one that inspired great change. And so, Ethicool was born: a children's book company that helps Price: $22.00 Category: Eco Home > Books & DVDs, Baby & Kids > Books, Baby & Kids Manufacturer: Ethicool
