Book excerpt: While we might often see and appreciate the beauty of flowers, we don't always see and appreciate the beauty in other human beings and how differences make us beautiful. The Two Flowers is a story about what can happen when two flowers are treated differently. It aims to educate children on real-world issues by using two flowers as the main characters in the story and taking implied terms such as unconscious bias, discrimination, privilege, preference, and prejudice and translating them in a visual way children and others can hopefully understand. Terms illustrated by an unseen presence in the story which guides the decisions regarding how each flower is treated based on privilege, preference, and bias (conscious or unconscious). The Two Flowers demonstrates how each of us uses a particular set of lenses to perceive the world around us, and how having critical conversations with young children is vital to navigating how they understand difference.
