Vaccine against Prejudice L L Vanderperre-Hirsch

How do you defeat racism? You teach against it! Vice Presidential nominee #KamalaHarris stated "There is No Vaccine for Racism." This beautifully illustrated and rhythmic children's book, imagines a world where there is one. "Jabberkerwilikus! A Vaccine against Prejudice" is the uplifting story of a young Papoo alien creature that is so terrified of going to the doctor and receiving his vaccine shots that he runs away, sending him on a thrilling journey where he meets an abundance of unusual characters. Each character, while unique and extraordinary in their own way, reveals prejudice and hate against the other. The story escalates as war nearly breaks out; forcing the creature to conquer his own fears about needles, and inspires the town to develop a VACCINE AGAINST PREJUDICE. The book has snappy dialogue, with perfect pacing, by children's author Dr. LL Vanderperre-Hirsch. Parents and their children will love reading and re-reading this celebration of equality for all, that children will want to hear nightly, and will become a staple in every child's library. As a teaching tool, "Jabberkerwilikus! A Vaccine against Prejudice," emphasizes strategic thinking, opens lines of communication regarding racism and equality for all, and is in line with common core principles of teaching. This 1,300-word children's picture book is geared toward children of all ages and inspires equality and respect for all human kind!
