87. What is racism & why is it bad? Ft special guest expert Laura Henry-Allain MBE, how does a Mummy chicken save her chicks if a fox tries to eat them?
On this award winning show we answer three questions from Tabitha, Emma and Christopher with help from special guest expert Laura Henry-Allain MBE
Laura is a writer, parenting expert, Early years advisor, inspirational speaker, creator of the CBeebies show JoJo and Gran Gran and has written a new book called Your Skin, My Skin.
You can win a copy of her book on this week’s episode by entering our competition! Check out the pod for more info.
Laura explains what racism is, how it is basically bullying, why it is bad and why our differences are things we ought to enjoy and celebrate.
Next up we have a question from Emma, 4. It is how does the big Mummy chicken try to save her little chicks if a fox tries to eat them?
This question was asked by a little one at Cheltenham Literary Festival – it was the question that won a vote with 200 children at the festival. We find out how chickens try to fight off foxes plus how you and other animals defend chicks from foxes.
Lastly we have a question from Christopher, age 5.5 who wants to know why do your hands go wrinkly when we have a bath or a shower?
Isn’t it weird your hands go wrinkly in the bath? We find out about sebum that usually protects your hands but gets washed off in the bath.
