This delightful preschool or early-reader book will give children and their parents something to cheer about. Do you know someone who could use a reason to smile? Just look at that cover! Look long enough, and you can’t help but start to smile yourself. Read the text and enjoy the rest of the illustrations inside and you just might start feeling good all over.
I don’t care if you are an adult or child, this book is a bright and shining spot in an ailing world.
The gift edition of Hooray for the Planet ends with “hooray for no reason at all” followed by a prayer of thanksgiving. This should be a welcome gift for libraries, elementary schools, and many of your friends and relatives.
The Bahai Edition includes an an extra page and ends with the declaration “I’m so happy to be a Bahai because it leaves room in my heart for everyone!” What a great way to establish a sense of Baha’i identity in children that is inclusive and uplifting.
“My little granddaughter & I read Hooray for the Planet!” for the first time this past weekend. She loved it & wants to read it to her dad now.” – Lucki Melander Wilder

Hooray for the planet!

Let’s fill our lives with grateful prayer.
Praise be to God for all He has created!

Both editions end with a prayer.
Sam Rice –
The kids love this book. It has a beautiful and uplifting message of unity. The illustrations are great. It could ideally be more colourful. But still a nice kids book.
