Pairs of People

Pairs of People is a fun, joyful celebration of friendship, community, and diversity that shows kids how teamwork can bring people together to make a difference in their communities. Reading this interactive book is not only fun but it also empowers our kids to know that no matter how old they are or how big or small the act is, pairing up for change makes our world a better place. ”
