About the Book
Long ago, Black Man and White Man didn’t really know each other. Although their paths would sometimes cross, they lived in different places. Still, they were brothers who were loved by the same God.
As the years passed, both White Man and Black Man made choices that led to hurt and pain. Years later, they still didn’t really know each other. Sometimes they forgot how to listen and became angry. It was only when White Man and Black Man decided to talk, listen, and learn that they finally began to embrace their similarities, not their differences.
In this simple story with a powerful message, children learn about the value of compassion, understanding, and kindness between all people, regardless of history or background.
