In this follow-up to the A Little Bit Different and A Little Bit of Courage, the Ploofers are back for a heartwarming exploration of self-awareness and respect.

The Ploofers are back and they've been practising something very special again. But one little Ploofer is too scared to go on this adventure. Can he find a little bit of courage? This the delightful follow-up title to A Little Bit Different, Teach Primary Book Awards 2020 runner-up (early years category).

Meet the ploofers. They're going to do something together, all the same, all at the same time - but wait! Who did that? Who was different? A simple and joyful story about accepting and celebrating our differences.

Attempts to explore the complex mythologies and realities of Asian youth experience. Taking the gang as its starting point, this study examines the interaction of representation and reality, ethnicity and masculinity in a textured, in-depth and personal perspective that challenges traditional views on Asian communities and identities.

This collection of original pieces brings together critical perspectives on the intersection of ethnic and gender identities as spatialized forms of embodied social practice, tackling important recent themes such as whiteness, masculinity, the body, sexuality, diaspora and globalization.
