Another heartfelt and inspiring story, written by a young child for the 500 Words-Black Lives Matter Writing competition.

This is another wonderful story, written by a young child in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. It's a beautiful reminder not to judge people who may be different in some way and instead, celebrate the similarities.

This is a story from the 500 Words: Black Lives Matter writing competition. It's a lovely story from the 5-9 years category and illustrates beautifully that whilst we may all look different, it doesn't really matter as underneath it all, we are all the same! Suitable for children 9 and under.

A brief intro to 500 words-the world's biggest story-writing competition for children. This year, the theme was Black Lives Matter.
