So I was sitting at the reference desk this morning looking at some of the new books that have come in, and I discovered an absolutely beautiful book with an amazing message that I think everyone should read.
The book
Come with me by Holly M. McGhee and illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre speaks a message that is so important during these troubling and challenging times in our world. It embraces the importance of being kind, treating others with respect, and how simple acts can make such a positive difference in the world. It is told in such a way that it is easy for little ones to understand. I will be reading this to my girls at bedtime tonight and in storytimes next week for sure!
From the inside cover:
"As the news tells and tells and retells of anger and hatred, a little girl asks her parents what she can do to make the world a better place.
'Come with me,' says her papa.
'Come with me,' says her mama.
One step at a time, the little girl begins to understand that her part, as small as it may seem, matters to the world.
From author, Holly M. McGhee and illustrator Pascal Lemaitre comes this powerful and timely story of kindness, bravery, and friendship in the face of intolerance and uncertainty."
