Desmond and the very Mean Word

Based on an actual event in the South African childhood of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, this colorfully illustrated book tells a story of learning to forgive. Appropriate for ages 6-9, this book is also Tutu's tribute to Father Trevor Huddleston, the cleric who advised him and helped him learn to overcome his anger and work for a world in which love can win over hate.
