Words and compassion help us learn more about each other. The book, Different Words, teaches us that different languages use different words that have the same meaning. When we learn each others words, we communicate better. In the second book, Shoe Walks, we experience what it is like to walk with someone else’s shoes. To see how others feel is called compassion. The more we learn about each other, the more we understand. The more we understand each other, the better we all get along.

The first story is about Hari. She is a hedgehog, complete with quills. She sees others hug. She wonders why doesn’t her family hug? This is the story of learning there are many ways to show love. The second story is Jungle Fire. A fire comes to the animals home. Now what do they do? Some run away. Others learn to work together with harmony. Love is harmony within our homes. Harmony is also working together as a society.
