You and Me and Everybody Else

Description

Everybody feels the same, sometimes. Our wishes, dreams, thoughts, and feelings are personal to us but all experienced by others. Guided by a friendly page-hopping cat, Everyone tackles the topics of emotions and experiences in a sympathetic manner, encouraging empathy with others. Depicting real-life situations from sleeping and dreaming, to playing outdoors and laughing with friends, to everyday boredom, this book breaks down barriers and negates cultural differences. As readers turn the pages, the message builds strength: Ultimately, no matter what we look like, or where we come from, we can find links to ourselves in one and other.
