Child's Play

Heritage, Nationality and Culture

Children of all races and nationalities should be respected and feel valued, and this can be supported by full representation in the books available to them. It is important to be aware of the possible existence
of inbuilt racist stereotypes, assumptions or attitudes, and to ensure
that these are not reinforced.

Child's Play aims to represent children from a variety of different cultures, races and nationalities, including dual-heritage children and families, as well as gypsies and travellers. Our books reflect the fact that we live in a multicultural society. Diversity is not only portrayed through the illustrations, but also through
the text.

A number of Child's Play titles are published in dual-language editions
by Mantra Lingua.
