What If Everybody Thought that?

By Ellen Javernick, Illustrated by Colleen Madden(Two Lions – 2019)

If you see someone in a wheelchair, you might think he or she couldn’t compete in a race. But…you might be wrong. What about if you see a child with no hair? Do you think that she is embarrassed all the time? As presenting several different cases, this book explores the preconceived notions we have about the world and encourages kids to be more thoughtful. >>>This is the companion book to “What If Everybody Did That?” and “What If Everybody Said That?” by the same author and illustrator.
