Description

Why in the World introduces citizenship topics in a sensitive way with heartfelt illustrations, helping to connect children's own experiences to larger issues in the world

We all get angry sometimes. Sometimes, this anger can lead to fights with friends or family. Sometimes fights can happen between adults, they can also happen between countries. This book looks at why people fight, whether at home, in the playground or on battlefields around the world. It looks at ways we can also try to find peace.

Full of empathy and emotion, these guides are an excellent first look at life's challenges. The notes included for parents and teachers offer a springboard for healthy discussion at home and in the classroom.
