Arthur, Millie and Jonno are different. They have different hobbies, they like different foods, their families come from different places. But they also have lots of things in common.

This is the same for all of us.

We can share our food and our stories. We can be kind and stand up when something is not fair. We can live happily together.

Our antiracism theatre work for children, Like Me, Like You has reached over 9,000 children across South Australia through schools, festivals and public performances over the last seven years. Through the launch of a new book adaptation, we're excited to sow even more seeds for anti-racism and bullying prevention with the next generation across Australia.

We look forward to welcoming community members big and small to our book launch and free performance of Like Me, Like You.
