Empower your child to be a positive force in the world with this
encouraging picture book that teaches kids that no matter how small an
action may be, there is always something they can do to make the world
a better place."When I know a friend is hurting then my heart starts
aching too, like it’s asking me a question . . . is there something I
can do?"? Based on a familiar passage from Matthew 25, this picture
book explores themes of compassion and empathy, encouraging children to
take positive action when they see a need in the world around them.
From big things―like helping to plant a community garden or trying to
find a home for an animal in need―to small things―like making a card or
welcoming someone new―there is always something we can do! The book's
lyrical refrain will stick with kids long after the book is closed: "If
there’s something that you notice, there is something you can do. Keep
your kindness radar working―maybe something starts with you!" Immerse
your little one in a world of kindness and hope with this gorgeously
illustrated offering from Natalee Creech.

"Little one, / whoever you are, / wherever you are, / there are little ones / just like you / all over the world." So begins the Australian author Mem Fox's joyful picture book "Whoever You Are," a celebration of the world's diverse cultures, both our 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 frames--and they all reflect Fox's message that no matter where we come from, within our hearts "Joys are the same, / and love is the same. / Pain is the same, / and blood is the same."
