To educate children on seeing the true value of people beyond their appearance.
Motivation
The society today emphasizes superficial beauty. Such values are reflected even in children who have the tendency to judge others by their looks.
Target Audience
Our storybook targets 6-year-old children. We have tailored our book closely with the characteristics of this particular group in mind.
Children aged 6, in the context of Singapore, are about to enter the first level of elementary school. They are very active learners and tend to apply what they learn directly.
Hence, it is important for our book to contain positive learning objectives so that it can be inculcated as a part of their personality and character building.
OUr STORY:
A hippopotamus wants to make some new friends and decides to approach a group of rabbits which are having picnic but was rejected because they judged that he was greedy by his size. He went on to find another group of sheep who are skipping rope but was once again rejected because they judged that he would damage their rope due to his size. The hippopotamus was very upset but one of the sheep was kind enough to befriend him. One day, while the sheep and rabbits were grazing on the plains, a big bad wolf attacks them. The hippopotamus’s friend, the sheep, was cornered by the wolf but the hippopotamus managed to thwart his evil plans. Everyone was thankful to hippo and realized that it was wrong to simply judge him by his looks.
Moral of the story: One should look past a person’s superficial looks into his/her character because that is what truly matters.
This is how our storybook looks like. (just a snapshot of it from my portfolio)
