I Am Tolerant

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins to notice and comment on differences in others, whether those differences are physical, cultural, or behavioral. It serves as a gentle introductory tool for navigating the transition into larger social circles, such as starting preschool or kindergarten, where children encounter a diverse range of peers for the first time. This nonfiction guide uses real-life photography to define tolerance not as a complex political concept, but as a simple act of kindness and patience. By showing relatable scenarios like sharing toys with someone new or listening to a friend with a different opinion, the book models how accepting others leads to a happier community. It is a practical resource for parents who want to instill foundational values of empathy and fairness in their four to seven year olds.
