About the book
This rhyming book gives parents an opportunity to open up an inspiring dialogue regarding the state of our world and our society. It relates how one person truly can make a significant change.
The simple message touches on racism, conflicts and climate change. It highlights the importance of showing love and acceptance to others around you and the importance of caring for our beloved earth... a place that we are all blessed to live upon.
"Our World is Cool" is simplistic, yet has a very dynamic message. The story is enriched by beautiful watercolour illustrations that drive the message of how living in peace and harmony can make a world of difference. It was inspired by Michele Obama's last speech as First Lady. It would make a perfect gift for children of any age and for expectant mothers as well. I highly recommend this heartwarming book that wins the argument (hands down) that YES.... our world is cool!
