A very short read, but such an amazing one that it really makes you think. I relate this to me and one of my best friends who is Persian, she got a lot of crap for being Persian after 9/11 and I always stood up for her. Still to this day, people judge her for it and this is probably why I love this book so much.
You can't judge a race/ethnic group based on what a few of them did. Honestly? If we did that, we'd be racist against ourselves considering all of the Caucasian people who go around murdering others. You just can't do it. Who cares if someone is a different race or has a different religion, get over it. Life is life, stuff happens, you move on. Someone may have a different skin color than you do, who cares?!
Have your niece read this, your daughter, your nephew, your son. Anyone and everyone you know, have them read this book. It's short, it won't take them very long. It may appeal more to the "younger" audiences, but trust me, the lesson is there no matter how old you are.
