Description

In this follow-up to the award-winning Maybe God Is Like That Too, a young girl wonders how to be a good neighbor to the dozens of people in her apartment building, the people on the street, and the other kids at the park. With help from her mama, the girl discovers that all it takes is a little kindness and creativity to show love to neighbors near and far.

Awards & Endorsements

Edith Yoder, Executive Director of Bridge of Hope National

"Maybe I Can Love my Neighbor Too is a beautiful story for today's children that opens up the age-old question of 'Who is my neighbor?' in an urban, diverse setting. This story, told from a child's perspective, will encourage children as well as adults who read it with the children in their lives, to explore what it means to be a neighbor in our world today. The story and illustrations together create a world of hope, curiosity and neighboring. I adore this book."
