Simple illustrations accompany a wonderful story about a stick boy who is born different.

While every other stick person is one colour, Huey is born rainbow coloured. The book looks at how he is treated differently, how he tries to hide what he is so he can fit in and could easily be used to help children understand MANY differences in life. I read this to see if it would help my Aspergers son to understand that being a bit different is okay, and it will be perfect for that, but could easily be used for any other physical or behavioral difference, possibly even as a way to help understand transgender and homosexuality and other "differences" to ALL ages.

A Bee Movie with a sting in the tale
It’s 1952 . Many married men have come back from the war forever changed. Life is financially tough for most families. In particular, attitudes to multi-racial relationships and (particularly) homosexuality are appalling, and never more so than in the small Scottish mill town where the film is set. The film charts a love story of two women thrown together due to a family break-up.

"This adaptation of the D. H. Lawrence novel examines the relationships between two sisters and their respective romantic partners in post–World War I England. Ken Russell does a fascinating job of exploring themes of jealousy, lust, homosexuality, fidelity, and social class in a challenging and often pointed way. He turns the notion of virtuous love on its head and, in true Russell fashion, throttles the characters and the audience, unflinchingly asking them the deeper questions that we typically dare not even ask ourselves. There are breathtaking locations, arresting cinematography, and a wrestling scene that makes Viggo Mortensen’s nude knife fight in Eastern Promises look tame. As with all Ken Russell movies, be prepared to have this one on your mind for a while after the credits have rolled."
