Sanaa Ali Haraki’s Difference is a Must is a children’s book that addresses the phenomenon of bullying in a simple, yet purposeful manner. Illustrated by Bassam Al-Imam and published by Asala Publishers, the book is part of the series Stop! Reflect! Take Action! It aims to promote justice and equality and to push towards following the law, the respect for the feelings of others and the acceptance of differences. Freedom of choice is one of the main messages that Haraki intends to get across.

“Days later, my mother changed my hairdo and I changed my unintended teasing behavior. When I stopped implying that my hair looked nicer than hers, the girl stopped bugging me.”
