What Does It Mean to Be Global?

In this whimsically-drawn and thoughtfully-told story, children learn what it means to be global by visiting the pyramids, eating sushi, celebrating Kwanzaa, and learning how to say "hello" in Swahili. The book is a conversation starter for parents and educators to teach goodness in exploring, appreciating, and respecting other children's traditions, religions, and values the world over.
