Seems that this was meant as encouragement after a natural disaster. But I see it as a message for all in light of all of the new refugees airlifted, brought by boat, or by any means possible to escape from homeland. The storyline is very simple with few words per page. Perfect for ESL! The illustrations are exquisite and convey all the differences of domestic beings and the varieties in appearance and nature of others who are not domestic. The last words are: *There is room for us all*. Marvelous book!!!
