Description
A young Black hockey player faces prejudice from his teammates and their parents, who see him as a threat because he's the tallest on the team. Because of his skin color, they perceive him as dangerous and assume he's a bully. The boy understands that being tall can be dangerous for a Black child, as it can breed hatred and violence.
Fortunately, the hockey player finds inspiration from his family and Black hockey legends to show his team that he's not just tall, but also awesome!
This story about racial prejudice shows children that they should never be ashamed to take their place and how damaging preconceived notions can be.
