It's Christmas Eve and Santa is on his yearly journey. But the night sky is so foggy that even Rudolph's nose cannot light the way. Stuck in a barn to keep shelter, Santa and the reindeer don't know how they are going to finish their mission when a small voice pipes up. At first frightened by this different creature, Santa accepts an offer to help complete his travels. Barry the Christmas Bat is a holiday tale about not being afraid of someone who is different, intended for children of all ages and all religions.

This volume confronts the expected tension between care and justice as moral orientations. The essays, by renowned educators, reveal how these two moral orientations can work together to produce wiser and more practical policies and practices. The authors explore problems at every level of education and tackle tough questions in theory, practice and policy making. Using real-life examples, they illustrate the great value of theoretical collaboration - instead of competing with each other, justice and care can and should work together.
