Betty Bluebird and Carl Cardinal, a new book written by Shannon McKerlie and inspired by Cassie McKerlie, has been released by RoseDog Books.
Betty and Carl are two birds in love. The only problem is that everyone else keeps telling them they shouldn’t be together because they’re different kinds of birds. Will they be able to overcome this obstacle and achieve their own happily ever after? This relatable and heartwarming story seeks to educate children about discrimination, particularly related to multi-racial relationships and families. Author Shannon McKerlie hopes to provide children with a concrete example of how prejudice can appear and arm them with the tools needed to overcome it through love and kindness.
