Mia, Macy and Amelia from All Saints Catholic Primary in Anfield composed the song,
               and told ITV's Granada Reports: "It's a song about not judging people because of the

               way they look, because they wouldn't like it if it happened to them.


               "So a couple of the lines are, 'don't judge a book because of its cover, don't judge a
               book because of its colour, do something good for you and each other, and live in
               peace forever'."



               The event is one part of “Schools Connect - United by Music”, a British Council led
               project which has partnered classrooms across Liverpool and Ukraine together for
               pupils to collaborate and develop a deeper understanding of each other’s cultures.



               Some of the children told Granada Reports how much they've loved taking part in the
               project: "It is just the chance to meet new people, I always like meeting new people
               because they bring new experiences.


               "Its just amazing because we get to meet new people and it must really cheer Ukraine

               to see people singing, take their minds off the war."
