PRAISE FOR PLANTING FRIENDSHIP
"Planting Friendship is a warm picture book in which girls from different faith traditions build friendships, exemplifying kindness and understanding." – Clarion/Foreword Reviews
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Callie Metler, Shirin Rahman, and I wrote this story as three women of the same faith traditions as Molly, Savera, and Hannah, to help bring peace, kindness, and friendship to the world. Hopefully, this book will open a dialogue about finding similarities and honoring differences leading to continued understanding and cooperation in the world. Artist Kate Talbot’s vibrant illustrations perfectly complement the lyrical text. PEACE, SALAAM, SHALOM.
