Laura explains what racism is, how it is basically bullying, why it is bad and why our differences are things we ought to enjoy and celebrate.
Next up we have a question from Emma, 4. It is how does the big Mummy chicken try to save her little chicks if a fox tries to eat them?
This question was asked by a little one at Cheltenham Literary Festival – it was the question that won a vote with 200 children at the festival. We find out how chickens try to fight off foxes plus how you and other animals defend chicks from foxes.
Lastly we have a question from Christopher, age 5.5 who wants to know why do your hands go wrinkly when we have a bath or a shower?
Isn’t it weird your hands go wrinkly in the bath? We find out about sebum that usually protects your hands but gets washed off in the bath.
