This book challenges some of the preconceptions about early childhood development - for example that children cannot understand issues to do with fairness, or with skin colour or disability or homophobia - by clearly explaining relevant theory and research, and by giving examples of good practice.

It encourages students and adults to talk constructively about issues of discrimination.
