Our World Is a Family is a picture book filled with child-friendly messages about hospitality, compassion, refugees, and immigration. Its story is fueled by the earnest belief that we each can change the world with local acts of love, reaching beyond all barriers of race, culture, nationality, and language. The book champions human connection and inspires children and adults alike toward meaningful action in their own neighborhoods. Available everywhere books are sold.

A good choice to inspire acts of kindness and galvanize positive change.
