By Dan Manalang
Illustrations by Nichole Wong
In this sweet story inspired by the author's childhood and imbued with Filipino cultural nuances, a coconut named Ambrosia is not accepted by the other fruits until one brave peach breaks the ice and leads the way to celebrating Ambrosia's differences. Fostering important values of diversity, tolerance, and positive self-esteem, this poetic, rhyming introduction to appreciating other cultures teaches the acceptance of others, even if they are different. Recommended as a "must" read book for kids. Pictures are colorful and interesting and the story is entertaining which will make kids understand diversity in a fun way. It is good to instill values of tolerance to young people so that they will learn to embrace our differences, irregardless of the color our skin. What truly matters comes from within.
