“The aim of our book is to encourage you to act as a competent companion for children so that they don’t develop certain prejudices and biases in the first place. And they won’t need a book like this later on, because a power-critical attitude comes naturally to them. We don’t know what discrimination our children will be exposed to in the course of their lives. We should therefore become their accomplices in order to empower them from the very beginning.” Olaolu Fajembola, Tebogo Nimindé-Dundadengar
