What a perfect book for the world we live in!

This should be on every child’s shelf and read often as it’s message is so beautiful.

I loved the attention to different cultures and beliefs.

We can all be a bridge for each other to love, grow, and create a better world.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is about the different ways that students to help each other as well as support one another throughout the school day. The author does a great job showing how these small acts of kindness like standing up for someone, respecting others, etc. Be a Bridge was a very diverse book as there were children from all different cultures represented in this book as well as children who use wheelchairs. The illustrations in this book are amazing and wonderfully done and the reader could tell that the illustrator took time to learn about the different aspects of the cultures that were included in the short story. This book covers everything that I remind my students constantly to remember to do throughout the day. This will definitly be a book that I will be purchasing for my classroom.

I look forward to purchaing this book and usuing it in my classroom. Many thanks to the aurthor, publisher, and NetGallery for an advanced copy for an honest review.

Love is a bridge between you and everything. - Rumi

That opening quote struck me; it is true that love connects us with those around us, either people or things that we care about.

This book is so heartwarming, especially to me because of my medical issues. I tend to be in a corner where no one notices me but in this book it shows how people should approach others with respect, kindness and love.
I hope everyone reads this
