Swirling patterns of animal shapes and symbols from various traditions are reminders that the topic is as abstract as the art, with much room for interpretation. The cherubic boy and his old-fashioned grandfather gaze solemnly out of the pages, making eye contact with readers and inviting them into the discussion. The boy wonders what the world would be like if more people practiced the Rule, and Grandfather explains that "It begins with you." The rich, golden paintings and large format reinforce the importance of the topic. With a gorgeous new package and a foreword from bestselling. Grandfather points out that many religions and cultures, from Christianity to Hinduism to the Shawnee tribe, have their own variations, and he quotes six examples. Bestselling author John Green provides a foreword to this deluxe edition of the beloved classic. Kindergarten-Grade 5-A nameless boy and his grandfather discuss the meaning of the Golden Rule, its universality, and ways to practice it.
