Opis

Outside In is a unique book, written from the point of view of Lisa Meryl, a precocious and perceptive 5th grader. As Lisa learns more about her teachers and their lives, she realizes that they are more than just the persona she meets in the classroom. Outside In tackles a wide range of disabilities and differences, including physical handicaps, sexual orientation, xenophobia, racial and age discrimination, and religious prejudice. It reminds readers that much of our education happens beyond the bounds of academic lessons. A book for students, teachers, parents, and friends of all ages, Outside In reminds each of us that tolerance begins by seeing people as human, by looking beyond what they present on the outside and finding out who they are on the inside.
