That’s so unfair!

  • An empathetic children's book about a topic that affects many families
  • Children's quotes make the meaning of poverty tangible
  • Raising awareness

Why can't Finn celebrate his birthday? Why does Ailin go on vacation and Helen stays at home? What do Li's parents do for a living? Children perceive social differences in their everyday lives with fine antennae and ask questions about the reasons for poverty, money distribution, prejudices and injustice. This children's non-fiction book for children aged 7 and up invites them to take a look outside the social bubble and put on the glasses of other children and families. Terms such as poverty, wealth, social injustice and equal opportunities are brought to life and explained in an easy-to-understand way. Children have their say and report from their point of view on what they consider unfair and what they consider fair.

A children's non-fiction book that breaks down a taboo with entertaining pictures and a wink and answers urgent children's questions in a child-friendly way. Empathetic and highly topical - for parents who want to help their children understand the world better.
