Love Your Neighbor

by Chris Singleton

Neighbors one.
Neighbors all.
Love, love, love
your neighbor!

In Love Your Neighbor, award-winning author and inspirational speaker Chris Singleton encourages kids and adults alike to love, love, love everyone. Those we know well and those we've not met. Those who see the world through different eyes. Even those who are far, far away. Everyone means every one! So get loving--and watch how the tiniest actions can change your community forever.

In this charming and action-oriented book, readers are asked to consider:

• But WHO is my neighbor? Can I pick and choose?
• What if my neighbor doesn't LOOK like me?
• What about those who don't ACT like me?
• But HOW do I love my neighbor?

When you turn love into a verb, you can apologize,defend, include, motivate, respect, and more!

In whatever ways you choose, as often as you're able,

Love

Love

Love yourneighbor.

Because everyone (yes, EVERYONE) deserves love.
