We've Got The Whole World In Our Hands, written by Rafael Lopez, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This story is based on the classic song "He's got the whole world in his hands." It is a glorious, colorful story of people, animals and the environment living together. One of the other great features of the book is that the text is in English and Spanish. And the story is chock full of diversity that fits the theme. I like it that children will, probably, see themselves represented in the book. Children in different parts of the world are depicted interacting with one another, animals and the environment. This is a great book for discussing diversity, the environment, collaboration, friendship and many other themes. The colorful illustrations are wonderful and fit the theme of the book perfectly. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A great book for discussions on diversity, friendship, the environment and different parts of the world.
