We have them of many types, classic tales like "The Ugly Duckling" or modern stories like this that we are talking about today. Stories that deal with diversity and normalization, which help the self-esteem of different children and accept those differences in others.
"Lolo, a different rabbit" is a book that teaches children that being different is not bad and that we all, in some way, are different from others. Otherwise ... how boring it would be.
It is a beautiful book to talk about multiculturalism, integration, tolerance ... Lolo is a rabbit different from the rest because he has a droopy ear. The others always laugh at him and Lolo tries, unsuccessfully, for his ear to be straight.
When Lolo decides to go to the doctor, he tells her that all people have different ears and that theirs are as good as those of others. Then Lolo feels much better and proposes a game to his friends
It is important that children know that being different does not make you worse, both for themselves and for others. It is a book with which promote self-esteem in the little ones and convey security against their differences.
