The red ribbon
John Lasne
- Reading
- Read together and pause at the discovery about the ribbon. Invite the child to connect the story’s idea of people working together with examples they choose from family or community life.
- Themes
- People making change together: The kingdom’s citizens stand side by side with parts of the ribbon and begin working together. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- The kingdom is described as very sad. The book is also presented as a prevention tool, although it does not mention drugs; its specific examples and treatment of that aim remain unclear.
