Bryan takes the words of this familiar and much-loved song, inspired by the genius of Louis Armstrong, to create a picture book that represents all races and demonstrates the wonderful beauty of diversity in the world. Full color.
What simpler way could there be to express to children the beauty and the harmony in the world around them than through the lyrics of this song by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele, made famous by the great Louis Armstrong? And what better visual accompaniment than the bright colorful artwork by award-winning Ashley Bryan depicting children of many backgrounds (and Louis Armstrong himself) performing a puppet show that brings the lyrics to life. Here is a book of brightness, wonder, and hope to be shared by all.
