The intention of this book is to show, wherever we grow, humans have quite similar ideas about the best way to maintain healthy relationships. We may look, talk, and eat differently, but the ways to love and respect one another have strong, universal threads. Jackie Adrian’s first wisdom nugget book (As You Grow I Want You To Know) reminds us of the universal wisdom of self-love. This book expands our collection of wisdom nuggets by exploring the world (quite literally) of relationships. Each of the 15-page spreads show a) a grown up and child in different parts of the world, b) a wisdom nugget, and c) an interesting fact or cultural phrase pertaining to the country visited on the page spread (and loosely to the featured wisdom nugget as well). Culture changes quickly, by meters or minutes. This text took many measures to be inclusive and correct by soliciting many cultural experts to help verify each page’s accuracy, but please keep the changing nature of culture in mind as you enjoy each page. The wisdom nuggets all start with the phrase, 'Wherever you grow, I want you to know,' to connect the reader with the idea that these wisdom nuggets are universally true for all humans. In our current world that could benefit from more positivity, celebration of diversity, and understanding of each other, this book will give families and schools a resource for promoting healthy boundary work in little, digestible nuggets. The book is illustrated with original, hand-painted, collage art.
