Jennifer Grant once again gives us a simple, lyrical story that welcomes young children to imagine living a life of love and generosity. I suspect kids will ask parents to read it again and again and then want to talk about what it looks like to love and be loved in their own communities.

Love starts with noticing the people right in front of you. In Jennifer Grant's new book, Maybe I Can Love My Neighbor Too, she recognizes this simple but profound truth, and calls children to see each person as someone with value and dignity. By teaching our children to widen their perspective, we encourage them to be a reflection of God's empathy and compassion.

Maybe I Can Love My Neighbor Too is a wonderfully uplifting book that will help children (and adults) think about who is their neighbor and then find practical ways to show love. The beautifully-illustrated urban setting and multi-ethnic characters help broaden the world view and the simple message is explained in thoughtful, never trite ways.
—Dale Hanson Bourke, author
Jennifer Grant has so simply and elegantly modeled what it looks like to be a good neighbor... by not just giving love, but receiving it as well. And the fun illustrations beautifully show the diversity of our neighbors...young, old, poor, rich, hijabs, tattoos...children will recognize this world, and at the same time, see it with new eyes after reading this book.
—Linda Midgett, Director and producer of "Same God"
