| Publisher Description: Inviting Harmony is an ideal companion to Australia's Harmony Day celebrations. The book is suitable for ages 4-8, as a positive introduction to the values of Harmony Day (such as belonging, diversity, and multiculturalism) which can be quite complex. The hope is instilling these values at a young age, leading to a strong sense of community and inclusion as they become the leaders of the future. The book tells a simple story, featuring a mix of cultures that represent a modern Australian community who are invited to an Aussie BBQ. Humour is in Australian slang, and how a different perspective makes life fun. Features simple bright colours and backgrounds, helping young readers focus on the characters, and cameo appearances by Australian animals. Downloads, suggested class activities, and other resources to help immerse readers into the values of Harmony Day can be found at http: //www.harmonybook.com.au
