What a delightful idea. A children’s book that tells the fair trade story.
This is a new item that we are proud to be carrying in our store during our celebrations on World Fair Trade Day, Saturday, May 12. Zapizapu Crosses the Sea:
“…take us on a journey that simplifies the concept of international trade and personifies those involved around the world from grower to consumer. In its rawness, we discover that the simple yet important concept of “being fair” is important for children and grown ups alike.”
I hope to post a Q&A with the author, Diane Abad Vergara, soon.

As an educator, I try to instill in my students the importance of fair treatment of each other in the classroom. What a perfect venue to begin showing them the importance of fair treatment of others in the world. This book is a great resource for initiating the important conversations about ethical and fair treatment of others.
