The Living Skills books are a series of 27 books by award-winning author Joy Berry. Like all of the Joy Berry books, this series stresses individual responsibility. The purpose is to help kids develop into self-sufficient, intelligent, independent thinking young adults. The books in the Joy Berry “classics” have sold over 85 million copies and helped hundreds of thousands of parents and kids over the past twenty years.

Prejudice and Discrimination comes from opinions we formed as young children. In Every Kid’s Guide to Overcoming Prejudice and Discrimination, Joy Berry explores the roots of prejudice and discrimination. When we understand these roots, overcoming prejudice and discrimination becomes much easier. Topics included are:
• what opinions are,
• where opinions come from,
• how to form opinions, and
• what prejudice and discrimination are.

The book features colorful cartoons on every page that both amuse and engage the reader.
