About the Author
Shelly Moore Thomas is a published author of children books including:Somewhere Today.
From Publishers Weekly
This affirming prose poem asserts that peace begins with simple gesturesAacts in which any child might take part: "someone/ is/ visiting/ a/ friend/ who/ is/ old"; "someone/ is/ planting/ a/ tree." Some of the peace-promoting acts involve crossing cultural boundaries, such as whacking a pi?ata or learning to master chopsticks. Thomas (Putting the World to Sleep) quietly makes readers aware of the kindness and pleasures around us. Her spare text and repeating phrasesAeach page begins with the words "Somewhere today.../ someone/ is..."Aplay off well against the warmth and specificity of Futran's photographs. In some, the multicultural families and kids smile happily for the camera; in others, they seem entirely absorbed in their activities. The numerous pictures, varying in size, proportions and quality, show children horsing around, celebrating or concentrating (a few appear washed-out or slightly blurry). The book is a bit like the good deeds it describesAa modest step in the right direction; the author wisely averts didacticism through her use of cogent, everyday examples. Ages 5-9.
