Human beings have many differences: we speak different languages; have different customs and think in different ways. Yet we are all God's children, and God dreams that, like any family, we will learn to love each other and to live in peace together.

A Story of Forgiveness
A new bicycle should make Desmond feel proud and free. Instead, one cruel word from a group of boys turns his ride into a moment of anger and hurt.
Based on a story from Desmond Tutu’s childhood in South Africa, this picture book explores what happens after someone is treated unkindly. Desmond wants to answer meanness with meanness, but a caring adult helps him think through his feelings and consider a harder, braver path.
Clear, honest, and deeply compassionate, this story gives young readers a meaningful way to talk about bullying, racism, anger, and forgiveness. A.G. Ford’s expressive illustrations add warmth and movement to a story rooted in dignity and hope.
