Internet, cinema, television, newspapers, radio -- conflict dominates each medium, and no one, especially children, escapes the barrage. The result is often a distorted view of society and relationships, of how the world affects individuals and individuals affect the world. If I Were... is a collection of connected, playful poems that promote a positive, compassionate message in a time when children are routinely subjected to cynicism and tragedy, encouraging empathy through different and fantastic viewpoints. Promoting vocabulary expansion and parental interaction, If I Were... inspires a deeper awareness and respect as it takes readers on an extraordinary ride into imagination.
