Groark Learns About Prejudice
From the 5 volume series Popcorn Park: Getting Along with Groark
Groark and his friends are planning a party. One of the friends convinces the others not to invite the new kid in school, citing reasons that ring with classic racist beliefs. But when Groark learns that this friend doesn't even know the new kid, he turns to a group of real elementary school children for a lesson in prejudice. They discuss how people sometimes treat others unfairly because of size, age, gender, race, ethnicity and national origin, and why it's important not to pre-judge people. Groark takes this lesson back to his friends and they decide to include the new kid.
