REVIEW: HAPPY WORLD PEACE & UNDERSTANDING DAY!

Now this is a holiday worth celebrating! Here's my book recommendation for today:

​
​TITLE: BUILDING BRIDGES: PEACE, SALAAM, SHALOM
AUTHORS: Callie Metler, Shirin Rahman, Melissa Stoller
ILLUSTRATOR: Kate Talbot
PUBLISHER: Clear Fork Publishing/2022
OPENING LINES:
 
Hand-in-hand, three best friends skipped over the bridge to Peace Park.
“Let’s check on the trees, our class planted,” said Hannah.
“Race you there,” shouted Savera.
Molly pointed. “Look how big they are growing.”

Hannah, Savera, and Molly are back in this sequel to the first Peace, Salaam, Shalom book featuring three friends of different faiths, written by three authors of the same faiths as their characters. This time the girls band together when they discover the bridge in Peace Park is in danger. This lovely book about community, cooperation, problem solving, positive mindset, and friendship is beautifully illustrated with diverse, expressive characters and vibrant settings—a sweet story, perfect for any bookshelf!
