Verde (I Am Yoga; I Am Peace; etc.) tells readers how "one by one, we can make a difference." A child (brown skin, hair in what looks like dreads) starts a garden with one seed, a journey with one step, and a friendship with "my one soft voice." The two friends (the other child is lighter skinned with blue hair) venture across oceans, "across borders and boundaries...to...inspire a movement, make a change." Reynolds' loose, color-drenched illustrations radiate calm and peace, enhancing the meditative text's mood. An author's note on mindfulness guides readers through a meditation exercise to demonstrate how the practice can affect change. (c) Copyright 2021.
