Children think differently by neater, not focusing constantly on them self’s. They don’t wont heart others and would rather be kind then violent. Even though throw TV, films and other media they are thought like the test of valance, many children still would rather be kind and non valiant.

“Rainbow friends” is written with crating non violent thoughts in mind. The book hopes to make children think more about others, to be that seed that makes them think even one thought that will make them act none valiantly.
