In an era where societal polarization has reached high levels, author Lisa Gammon addresses the urgent need for dialogue, empathy, and unity with the release of their latest picture book, ‘Reach!’.
This book is set against the backdrop of a balance beam high above the clouds. This captivating book narrates the story of nine babies of diverse ethnicities whose love for each other is tested when external influences penetrate their innocent world. As the story proceeds, this story serves as an allegory for the challenges faced by society and its impact on our children’s emotional well-being.
The inspiration behind ‘Reach!’ stemmed from Lisa Gammon’s concern about a disturbing trend observed over the past four years—escalating anger among children, manifested in physical outbursts towards peers and educators. The author believes that this aggression is a reflection of the collective angst absorbed from the diverse atmosphere around them, fueled by societal unrest and media coverage.
Children are like sponges, absorbing the tension from adults and media. This book aims to address this issue by encouraging unconditional love and understanding among children. The author, Lisa Gammon, urges the readers to recognize the importance of creating an environment that preserves the innocence of childhood and promotes civility.
With a non-partisan stance, the book resonates with anyone seeking a society founded on kindness and unity. It is specifically designed for Balance-America, perfectly aligning with the organization’s beliefs, which makes it a valuable resource for families and communities seeking a path toward positive change.
