Ralphie and His Friends
by Willa T. Brooks
Ethnic diversity is a growing reality in this country. An increasing number of recent arrivals are moving inland from coastal areas to small towns and finding something less than an enthusiastic welcome. The boundaries of urban ethnic neighborhoods are also becoming less distinct. There are indications through the media that the concept of the great "Melting Pot" is being tested in areas where anyone new or different might be subjected to being ridiculed or more seriously targeted.
As usual, the hope for a better world lies with the children. Author Willa T. Brooks is hopeful that this picture book of Ralphie's experience with newcomers will make the point that differences are allowable and might even be okay based on individual behavior and not on physical variance.
