Everything I said about the "One Love" book sort of goes for this one too but I feel like the words are a bit more concrete and less soft-focus and it works better for that.
This book is just fun! And, what a great lesson for all our children to learn! Grab a copy to share with your young ones!
Every Little Think based on the song by Bob Marley. This book addresses the little worries of children and teaches them that with love and positivity that every thing will be alright. It teaches to include people and that it's okay to make mistakes.
An appropriately cheerful, upbeat story based on the Bob Marley song.
A boy rises in the morning to great a new day, with three little birds on his doorstep leading the way. The birds are there when he sees someone sitting alone on a swing at the playground, so the boy includes the lonely kid in a soccer game that's going on. The message repeating over and over in the song is "Don't worry about a thing, `cause every little thing is gonna be all right."
Cedella Marley (Bob Marley's daughter) wrote this book in dedication of her father's message and memory . Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer-songwriter. This book can be used to teach students about Bob Marley and where he comes from (Jamaica). Also, if students are going through a hard time or worries this song has a message of hope for everyone.
