It Does Not Matter If You Are Black Or White - Hardcover

by Brenda Joyce Sanders (Author)

This is a story about a girl named Margaret. The story is told from Margaret's point-of-view as a kindergartner. She learns a powerful lesson about the power of words. Margaret realizes that a person cannot take back what has already been said or done. Meanwhile, Margaret loses her best friend. She tries to figure out a way to go back to the way things used to be, but she finds out that this is not an option. She never could figure out a way to take back what she said. The kindergartner learned that saying I am sorry was not enough to erase the impact. At a very young age, Margaret learns about impact and why she should not repeat words that she hears, especially if she does not know the meaning of the words. The kindergartner learns how vital it is to know what the words she speaks mean. Margaret ultimately wants others to understand what she now understands.
