The Inspiration behind the book – Belief in your self
We are all individuals and our unique qualities are demonstrated in this inspiring book!
The Author was inspired to write about Children enjoying a day in the shopping mall with their family or foster parent showcasing each unique quality in each child in the mall.
She highlights each unique relationship a child has with their parent; exposes grey spots like disability, a father having to change a daughter, a father caring for a baby in the food court, a single parent with four young children, a black mum with a white son, a black dad with a mixed-race son
A foster parent and her children, the boy with dread locks and his mum, the Arabic girl with her parents, the Somalian boy.
As a British born she portrays her background in her writing and also gives children the opportunity to be proud of who they are and accept difference and diversity. We are a diverse world, and we need to show case the different gaps in our society.
The names are of no representation and she applies the names of children that the children would identify with in their communities: as this would help to broaden their mindset and think about their unique qualities.
