The Great Question: Douglas’s Quest for Understanding

Every child eventually notices the differences between people. For Douglas, a thoughtful and inquisitive boy, this observation sparks a question that his young mind cannot easily answer. He sees his friends and neighbors, and one day he asks, ＂Why are some children different colors?＂

He turns to his friend, Sharon, for an explanation. Sharon offers a practical, if incomplete, comparison: ＂One is taller than another.＂ While true, this doesn’t quite satisfy Douglas’s deeper yearning for an answer that addresses the fundamental variations he perceives. He knows in his heart that something more essential is at play.
