The Launch of Many Colors One Race: 10 Nice Things You Can Tell Your Children about Other Races and #SSNC AfterParty

Zubedy officially launched our latest publication titled Many Colors One Race: 10 Nice Things You Can Tell Your Children about Other Races at our location in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail on 25th October 2013, Friday. 

  

The book is zubedy's newest addition to our 'Books to Unite' series. A known proponent and advocate for Unity, we have under our belt 16 titles - 10 in English, 3 in Bahasa Malaysia, 1 in Mandarin, and 2 are multilingual - that promote a United and emphatic Malaysia.

The Unity message in this book is narrowed down for the children’s palate. However, according to Anas Zubedy, the author and Managing Director of Zubedy (M) Sdn. Bhd., "Don't mistake it for a children's book. Yes, it was designed with children in mind but Many Colors One Race: 10 Nice Things You Can Tell Your Children about Other Races is meant to be read together by parents and children. It's a book for the entire family."

"As children enjoy being read to, it is critical that we acquaint them with the best of other races. From there on we can introduce nice things about others to our children." he added.

As part of the launch, seven Standard 6 students from Sri KDU Primary School were invited to read certain quotes from the book. Then Anas zubedy and the Sri KDU students proceeded to revealing the book for the press and audience. 

 

To add value to the readers, this book provides more than just stories to be read about Malaysian races. Children and parents can build their own stories about their friends of other races using the blank pages that are weaved into the book. These blank pages become the vessel for children to ponder, recognize, and acknowledge good traits of their friends of other races. 

"As parents and adults, sometimes we, without even realizing and or having the slightest intent to be malicious, say things about other races that may not be in good light. And this is passed on to them and possibly even imitated by them," Anas said further. 

Anas expressed his hope, "With this book, I hope this will create a chance for us to change the situation; to nurture positivity and love towards our fellow Malaysian brothers and sisters."

The supporters of #SaySomethingNice campaign were also given tokens of appreciation during the event, in the form of a plaque of acknowledgement as well as signed copies of Many Colors One Race: 10 Nice Things You Can Tell Your Children about Other Races.
