We Share One World

$15.95
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.

The Vision

“You and I, we share one world,”

This simple declaration emphasizes our fundamental unity despite geographical differences listed in the text. It provides a vital foundation for teaching empathy and global citizenship early on.

Therapeutic Guide

Core Utility: Fosters a sense of belonging and interconnectedness, reducing feelings of isolation.

Conversation Starters:

  • What is one thing you share with someone far away, like the sun or the air?
  • If we all dream one dream, what do you hope that dream is?
  • How does it feel to know people everywhere play and laugh just like you do?
