Children's Book Review 2009

God's Dream

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has written a gentle, lyrical book about what he believes is God’s greatest desire: that everyone of different races, nationalities, and faiths get along and show each other love. The book focuses on ways that "God dreams about people sharing…God dreams about people caring,” depicting young children in a rainbow of colors, shapes, and sizes playing and laughing together.

lesson is heartwarming, as are Pham’s richly colorful drawings of adorable children. A perfect book for teaching tolerance and equality.
