Award-Winning Author Launches Bilingual Children's Book to Foster Friendship and Inclusion in Classrooms
[Orange, CA] - January 7, 2025 - C.M. Harris, celebrated author of the "What If We Were" series, announces the release of "What If We Were All Friends!" - a groundbreaking bilingual children's book designed to transform elementary education through the power of friendship and cultural connection.
Following the remarkable success of "What If We Were All The Same!” this new addition continues a series that has already impacted many nationwide classrooms. The series has garnered multiple 5-star reviews from educational reviewers and has been praised for its approach to teaching diversity, kindness, and inclusion.
"What If We Were All Friends! is a wholesome book of rhymes for children. Parents and caregivers can use this book to instill values of embracing diversity and friendship in kids at an early age through singable rhymes that linger in your mind long after you've finished reading...Young readers will have lots of fun with the rhymes while parents can sing them to their kids. Highly recommended!"
"What If We Were All Friends!" introduces young readers to the universal language of friendship through bilingual text in English and Spanish, accompanied by vibrant illustrations from acclaimed artist Vitor Lopes. The book features engaging elements, discussion questions, and comprehensive teaching resources designed to support educators in fostering inclusive learning environments.
"Children love reading stories that rhyme. C.M. Harris's rhymes in What If We Were All Friends! draw children's attention to one of the most important lessons they will ever learn. There is more than enough hate in this world, and this book will help children understand that friendship is one of the best cures for hate. Since friends work things out when they disagree, the world can live in peace if we learn to be friends. True friendship lasts a lifetime, so being friends with everyone can bring lasting peace. Take time to discuss what it takes to be a good friend and how to make friends with those who seem different. I have found that playing games and having fun is an excellent way to develop friendships. I highly recommend this book to share the joys and power of friendship with your child.
"In today's interconnected world, teaching children about friendship across cultures isn't just important—it's essential," says Harris. "This book serves as a bridge, connecting young minds through the universal experience of friendship while celebrating our unique differences."
