Overview

The Great Question: Douglas's Quest for Understanding Every child eventually notices the differences between people. For Douglas, a thoughtful and inquisitive boy, this observation sparks a question that his young mind cannot easily answer. He sees his friends and neighbors, and one day he asks, ""Why are some children different colors?"" He turns to his friend, Sharon, for an explanation. Sharon offers a practical, if incomplete, comparison: ""One is taller than another."" While true, this doesn't quite satisfy Douglas's deeper yearning for an answer that addresses the fundamental variations he perceives. He knows in his heart that something more essential is at play.

I believe that stories have a unique way of reaching into a child's heart, helping them grasp complex ideas and values with clarity and kindness.My hope is that Cherub-The Human Race will join the tradition of stories that inspire, teach, and capture the imaginations of both young readers and the adults who share the journey with them.
