About the book:
Ways to BE from A to Z is about how we choose to show up in the world. Do we choose to be mean and hateful? Or do we choose to be loving and kind? While we can’t control all the things that happen to us on a daily basis, we can control how we respond to what is happening all around us and how we behave in the world. This book is all about teaching children – and their grown-ups – that the choice is ours. How do you choose to be in this moment? And in this moment? And how ’bout this one?
