Green Lizards Vs. Red Rectangles

Steve Antony's 'Green Lizards Vs. Red Rectangles' is a brilliant picture book that uses simple shapes and colors to explore complex themes of conflict, prejudice, and peace. It tells the story of two groups, the green lizards and the red rectangles, who have always been at war without truly knowing why. The narrative gently introduces the idea of questioning tradition and the importance of empathy, as some characters bravely seek to understand their adversaries. This book is ideal for sparking conversations with children aged 4-11 about the futility of conflict and the power of individual thought to bring about change.
