Title - The Lavender Llama
By - Tandy Braid
Primary Subject - Social Studies
Grade Level - K-3
This lesson could be used to teach friendship, discrimination, prejudice or tolerance.
It is a good counseling resource for bi-racial children.
As the children begin entering the classroom, hand a selected few a piece of candy. (Example: only those with street shoes, or with buttoned shirts, or watches. Basing it on personal things like eye or hair color can lead to hard feelings.) Ask the children who didn't receive candy how it felt not to get something. Then proceed to tell them it is reading time and you are going to read a book to them about this very topic.
Read The Lavender Llama by Tandy Braid. It is a book about a llama whose mommy is red and daddy is blue. The llama learns all about discrimination, and more importantly, that it can be defeated by love and knowledge.
