This is a block-print by Ivan whose title is 'Say No to Racism'. Ivan says that "it doesn't matter what colour you are, it's what you're like that important."

I have a friend who is a kind hearted girl and is always there for me. If I am sad, she tries to cheer me up and when I'm grumpy, she tries to make me laugh.
