"Deepened and expanded by its illustrations, this is a stunning
introduction to the true meaning of a global community."--School

They are all over the globe. Sweet people can be found from Canada to
Congo to Cuba, from Afghanistan to Australia, from Ireland to
Iraq...there are sweet people in the thirty-seven places listed in these
pages and almost everywhere else on the planet. Take a trip through the
lines of this large-hearted poem by Alice Walker and meet some of
them!
Sweet People Are Everywhere, an illustrated picture book featuring a
poem by internationally renowned writer and activist Alice Walker, is a
powerful celebration of humanity. The poem addresses a young boy getting
his first passport, taking the boy--and the reader--on a journey through
a series of countries around the globe where "sweet people" can be
found. Walker's heartening message is celebrated through Quim Torres'
deeply felt illustrations.
