You are a Gift to the World; The World is a Gift to You

by Laura Duksta

Summary: Presents two stories showing readers that life is filled with magical moments and that the planet provides many of the biggest gifts.

This is a glorious upside down book. You can read the book in one direction and then turn it upside down and read it in the other direction. I like that the last page of both stories is a page in the middle of the book that is written in a circle. This is an excellent book for discussing the environment and opinions. For an older crowd, a teacher or reader may choose to discuss the author’s note. This author has lived with an illness and feels a calling to spread love.
