Something in Common
Discover the power of unity amidst diversity! Our shared humanity unites us all in a diverse world of families of various shapes and sizes. Based on this universal truth, Children's Aid Foundation of Canada teams up with the cherished children's entertainment group, The Wiggles, to introduce "Something in Common."
This initiative introduces a free e-book for children that celebrates the stories of young people in Canada's child welfare system. This book facilitates conversations between parents, family members, caregivers, and children about the child welfare system and different family structures. It does this by sharing powerful messages of inclusion and diversity.
The Power of Storytelling
Stories have the extraordinary power to connect people and foster empathy. "Something in Common" weaves a heartwarming tale featuring Tsehay, the Yellow Wiggle, as a camp counsellor at Camp Wiggles. Here, she encounters Leo, a lonely camper who feels like an outsider.
Tsehay introduces Leo to a group of campers, each with their experiences in the child welfare system. While their families may be different, they all share something in common – love and resilience. Through storytelling and mutual understanding, barriers are broken down, and Leo discovers a sense of inclusion, happiness, and newfound confidence.
Accessible Education for All
The e-book is a valuable resource that not only entertains. It educates children about the child welfare system and different family structures in Canada. A comprehensive guide is included and is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators.
The guide provides an overview of child welfare in the country and includes a helpful glossary of terms. Additionally, the guide gives adults the power to have meaningful conversations with children about important topics. This helps them better understand and show more empathy for different types of family structures.
The E-Book
"Something in Common" is more than just an e-book—it celebrates inclusivity, diversity, and the power of storytelling.
