"Little one, / whoever you are, / wherever you are, / there are
little ones / just like you / all over the world." So begins the

similarities and differences. Leslie Straub's innovative, colorful,
folk art-style oil paintings of children from all corners of the
globe are bordered with photographs of hand-carved, bejeweled

come from, within our hearts "Joys are the same, / and love is the
same. / Pain is the same, / and blood is the same." A gem

their emotions. This book is ideal for sharing with young children,
or to give to older children to read independently. Written in

behaviours that children engage in - such as temper tantrums,

consider instead, like staying calm, being honest or playing
fairly. There are fun, colourful illustrations by Sarah Jennings
throughout and helpful notes for parents and carers at the back of
the book, with tips for encouraging positive behaviour early on.
