Book Reviews of We Share One World
Book Review: A delightful book for children!
Summary: 5 Stars
As we turn the pages of this book, we enter the mind of a thoughtful young boy as he muses over countries in the world that are far away and maybe vastly different from his own. While gazing out over a hilltop, he begins to realize that even though the places may be far away, they must be the same in many ways because we share one world.
Even though Tanzania is a long way from where we live, we share the same sun. The children there play under the brilliance of golden sunbeams, just as we do.
The wind that blows the kites of children in Japan is the same wind that ruffles wisps of hair on the heads of our children. Russia may be cold and snowy, but snowflakes taste the same to all children. Other languages may sound strange to our ears, but the laughter of children everywhere can often carry a more powerful message than words.
As adults, we frequently dwell on the many differences of places like Tanzania, Switzerland, Algeria, Japan, Peru, China, Russia, Costa Rica, Canada, Australia, and even Iraq. It is often ONLY those differences that we think about, but this young boy allows us to see beyond those differences because he sees ONLY the similarities. Isn't that a magnificent concept for a child to discover? Wouldn't it also be incredibly wonderful if everyone felt that same way? If we can teach our children to think FIRST of the similarities that we have with other countries and other people, we can foster the ideal of living in peace. These are the lessons so simply taught in this book.
***** When children see this colorful book, overflowing with pictures of other children at play, their immediate reaction is delight! Then, as they turn the pages, they have no problem understanding how we are all so similar. The words of the poem are uncomplicated and plain spoken, and the beautiful watercolors allow children to absorb even the smallest detail. That is when they can use their imagination to weave their own very personal story. I highly recommend this new offering from Illumination Arts, We Share One World. *****

Summary of We Share One World
Children are never too young to begin exploring the many different cultures that make up our beautiful world. Whether we awaken to the wind blowing from the desert, the spray from an ocean wave, or snowflakes dusting the trees, we all share this truly magnificent planet. Through a young boy's eyes, we visit children from far away places fly kites in Japan, swing through the jungles of Costa Rica, play the didgeridoo in Australia... Marty Husted's vivid watercolors flow perfectly with Jane Hoffelt's thoughtful poem, helping us feel the depth of our global connections.School Books
