In a small warehouse, the potatoes are gearing up for the Potato Blossom Festival. The “Best Friends Rule ” prohibits Manu and Claude from being best friends. The Potato Blossom Ball is approaching and the two want to go together. Will the other potatoes open their hearts and allow the friendship to blossom?

This story seeks to teach children about the right to equal treatment and freedom from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, which is guaranteed by section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

La Charte pour les enfants introduces children to the basic principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Each story is set in a different province or territory of the country and each addresses a different right or freedom in the Charter. The series seeks to empower children by providing them with a basic awareness of their rights and by fostering a respect for the fundamental values that Canadians cherish.
