Book Description I don't want to go to public school! I don't need diversity! Ten-year-old Rose protests to Dad and Grandma. What is diversity, anyway? she wonders crossly. Rose's dad wants her to meet kids of different races, cultures and religions. He says the new school will be an adventure. No way!
