Something happeened in our town submitted by poptart887 on July 28, 2020, 11:50pm This is an amazing book! It talks about discrimination in a way that kids can understand. The two main characters have questions about something that happened in their town. Their parents talk to them openly about it and explain it to them. At the end of the book the two characters find themselves in a situation where they can make a difference Nd they do! They stand up to the others and say "no, that's not nice".
