God's Dream

Archbishop Desmond Tutu shares his vision of God's dream for the world, where people hold hands, get angry and say sorry, and forgive — learning that everyone, no matter their nose size or skin shade, is family.

For families who want the biggest ideas — kindness, forgiveness, belonging — put into words small enough for a toddler's ears.

• Big idea: Ubuntu: we belong to each other, and forgiveness is how we stay that way.
• Vibes: Gentle, hopeful, warm as a held hand.

• are learning to say sorry and forgive
• respond well to simple, comforting rhythms
• enjoy looking at rainbow colors and gathered circles of people
• are working on noticing what makes each person different — and the same

• Feelings & empathy: What do you think Archbishop Tutu means when he says everyone is a brother or sister?
• Real-life connection: Can you think of a time you got angry with someone and then said you were sorry?
• Story & problem-solving: Why do you think holding hands is part of God's dream?
• Imagination: What would the world look like if everyone shared and forgave like in this book?
