Incidents in the story are based on real experiences that the author has had as a teacher in a multi-cultural school. A direct style is used which has quite a fast pace to hold children's attention. The story raises issues and ideas which can be discussed and reflected upon in the classroom. Ideas for discussion are listed at the end of each chapter.

an active role as citizens, develop good social relationships and respect the differences between people.
