Did you know that one in four children feels excluded at school?
Children spend a great deal of their time at school learning new skills and navigating social situations, including making friends and building relationships. Mary the Fairy and the Stranger from the Moor is a relevant and timely children's picture book for children aged 0-6 years old to teach children about inclusion, kindness and courage.
Mary the Fairy and Stranger from the Moor follows Mary the Fairy, who is having a party. She invites all of her friends. They are having a good time, but suddenly, there is a knock at the door. It is the Stranger from the Moor, who was not invited to the party. What will Mary and her friends do?
In this book, you will find themes of inclusion, kindness and courage. The characters' actions could be everyday scenes played out in classrooms, cafeterias and playgrounds around the world. Familiar children's book lore is injected with folkloric characters and scenes from the Caribbean to underscore the universal theme that we all want to be included and treated with kindness.
Mary the Fairy and the Stranger from the Moor is about kindness, courage and inclusivity. It is a great book for teaching children that although we are all different in our own way, everyone wants to be included and treated with kindness. And, they can be the first ones to lead with courage.
