EOC's storybook series “Tally & friends” now available at public libraries
Tally & friends, a storybook series edited by the EOC and illustrated by young designers from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, is now available at 38 public libraries across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.Targeted at kindergarten and primary students, the three-part series follows Tally and his friends from Planet Diversity as they join an interstellar basketball competition on Earth and learn to respect and appreciate people different from themselves. It aims to promote values of diversity, inclusion and equality among children, and comes with a guided reading kit for parents and teachers.
Research shows that prejudice and discriminatory attitudes may develop among children as young as the age of three. Early intervention and education are therefore necessary for the creation of a sense of empathy and an open mind towards differences – the building blocks of a harmonious and inclusive society. Towards that end, the EOC rolled out a storytelling competition and a series of workshops based on Tally & friends last year, which attracted over 360 participants in total, including students, parents and teachers.
