BELLA
The message is a simple but essential reminder that no matter where we are in the world, itâs the same moon that shines down on us.
The Big Issue
It can be easy to close oneâs eyes and ears to the struggles of others â to think as though we exist in completely different realities. Rodariâs beautiful words are a reminder that we share just one world. And that we must not ever lose sight of each otherâs right to live peaceably within it.
Just Imagine
This poem illustrates the truth of shared humanity. This is not about Ukrainians but about humanity and everything we have in common. Itâs beautiful in its simplicity and the artwork has a uniquely raw feel that I love.
