Sweet People Are Everywhere, an illustrated book for children ages 4–8 (and readers of all ages) featuring a poem by internationally renowned writer and activist Alice Walker, locates the “sweet people” who can be found all over the world. The poem addresses a young boy getting his first passport, taking the boy—and the reader—on a journey around the globe in a powerful celebration of humanity and generosity of spirit that is inspiring, timely, and timeless.
