The Human Race challenges children to find out what qualities we need to create positive relationships at school, in the community and ultimately as citizens of the world. It gives simple strategies for building skills in conflict resolution, problem solving, assertiveness and having empathy for others.

Dunc’s family tree reads like the history of Australia. His loyalty, honesty and tenacity are his greatest assets but if he is to excel in all the physical, artistic and mental challenges in the human race he must overcome his low self esteem.

Deedee is strong willed, fearful and divisive and has been alienated by her “group”. She is horrified when she has to enter the race with Dunc, “the daggiest kid in the whole school”.

When they discover ways to unite their strengths, empathise and accept each other’s differences they progress to the next round. Other competitors who cheat and undermine each other begin to fall behind. In the spectacular, hilarious final moments of the race, Dunc learns to stand tall and be proud of his heritage and makes Deedee realise that the only losers are the people who are “too cool” to try. They win because they are resourceful, show compassion, play by the rules and do their best to reach their potential as Human Beings.
