"First time Canadian author, Kim Teresa Oshiro opens the door and walks the reader along a new road where the alphabet has not yet travelled with her children's book A B C in Harmony. Written with lyrically poetic, vocabulary rich words and rhyming verse, the letters are easy to recall, while being infused with powerfully positive messages. With countless ABC books encircling our planet, this is the first ever that encompasses the global community with the universal message of love.
""Every child shares centre stage in my book,"" Oshiro says ""ABC in Harmony reveals how all children can become the architects that co-create the world in harmony, balance and love. Every child is born with an innate talent and unique gift that defines them and when inspired in a positive light by us, they can ultimately enhance the world by sharing their invaluable gift.""
In the heart of humanity, people share the same vision- we all want the best for our children and to see them succeed in life. Our wish is made possible in A B C in Harmony. The children get their hands in the pie as they play their key roles in environmental stewardship on our planet; touching on animal welfare, global unity, the importance of courtesy, consideration, manners and respect. Children are fuelled by compassion, empathy, perseverance, goal-setting, kindness, faith, responsibility and ultimately, the awareness of their treasured gift to humanity.
Timely and touching, ""A B C in Harmony"" has been read in the classroom as part of Anti- Bullying Day in Strong Start.
The organization Kids Need to Read in Mesa, Arizona has recently made A B C in Harmony a part of their READ Together program and The Mission School District will be having the book as part of their "Ready Set Learn" Program.
Kim Teresa Oshiro and her son, Matthew live close to the mighty Fraser River in Mission, British Columbia. Over the years, they have happily shared their home with a menagerie of family pets."
