Richard, the Stubborn One

Richard, the Stubborn One

 

A smart, action-packed story that magically broaches the sensitive issue of gender stereotypes which often touches children’s lives.

Author : Ioanna Kyritsi-tzioti
Edition : Diaplasi
Class name : 1st-2nd

His name is Richard and he is renowned for his stubbornness! Being a king, he can believe that the silliest things are correct and can give the most absurd orders!

 

For example, he orders his little girl to live in a pink tower and to wear only pink clothes, while his little boy is to live in a blue tower and wear only blue…

 

Fortunately, his twin children are growing up quickly and are righting all the problems, injustices and suffering that his hardheadedness has brought upon his kingdom.

 

A smart, action-packed story that magically broaches the sensitive issue of gender stereotypes which often touches children’s lives.
