Μαζί είναι καλύτερα!

by Caryl Hart, Ali Pye (Εικονογράφηση)

Υπάρχουν όμορφοι άνθρωποι
σε κάθε άκρη της γης.
Αν πράγματι κοιτάξεις,
παντού γύρω θα τους βρεις!
ΜΑΖΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΑ.
Το ζούμε κάθε μέρα:
Φίλους καλούς αν έχουμε,
τα βγάζουμε όλα πέρα!
Ένα υπέροχο βιβλίο για την αξία της φιλίας, της ομαδικότητας και της αλληλεγγύης.

I cannot wait to use it in the classroom. It is perfect for introducing all sorts of discussions about making our playground accessible, diverse and welcoming for all.

Together We Can by Caryl Hart is about how kids can make friends with anyone and maintain friendships even with people that aren’t similar to us or like the same things. This directly connects to the theme of friendship and kindness as it is teaching kids how to make friends and be kind to those that don’t like the same things as us. The secondary readings that go with this picture book would be the nursery rhymes and Larrick’s “The All-White World of Children’s Books.” The nursery rhymes go with this picture book because it has a rhyme scheme that makes the sentences connect to one another; similarly to how the book wants kids to connect to each other and find common grounds to be friends. The other reading that follows this picture book would be Larrick’s “The All-White World of Children’s Books” as unlike how in the article it states that there is little representation within picture books, this one is a good contradiction of that. This picture book uses children all around the world to explain to kids that it doesn’t matter where you came from or what you look like, as long as you are a good friend and get along with others that’s what matters and is important.

This is such a beautiful looking book! It’s front cover features big bold writing and with lovely, diverse and inclusive illustrations of children - I knew this would be a hit with the Littles just from first glance!
🥰
With sharp, colourful and eye-catching illustrations adorning each page, Together We Can is such a feast for little eyes and I could see that my Littles were immediately enraptured by how much was going on, on each page.
🥰
Together We Can is perfect for reading (and shouting!) aloud and whilst its main themes are forming friendships and displaying kindness and compassion, it celebrates diversity and inclusivity throughout, whilst also highlighting how important togetherness is in the world.
🥰
Empowering, inclusive and beautifully illustrated; Together We Can is a firm favourite in the Cooke House and I’m sure it will be in yours too!

I think this is a great book for young children. This book is a great example for children to show that it doesn't matter what color someones skin is or how they look; all that matters is that you like them for them and want to be friends with them. This book is all about togetherness and friendship. I loved this book and think it is an amazing book to read to students.

We read the afrikaans translation. "Saam Kan ons enige iets doen"

A heartwarming story about friendship.

[Ayesha Saffron · Rating 4 out of 5]

This picture book helps to highlight and celebrate the differences between each human being. The uniqueness of each child character in the book emphasises that if we all helped each other and treat each other fairly there are no bounds to our capabilities.

The pictures and drawings add a youthful and fun approach to situations that could be awkward in day-to-day life. Hence, I would use this book in the classroom to educate children about tolerance, understanding and empathy and how to help those you might need it.
