Advance Praise

“I appreciate Sara Arnold’s initiative in writing this book…it is a story that says, ‘Do not be afraid of being who you are. What makes you different can sometimes, but it can also make you unique and interesting to others.’ In times like these, we need more stories like The Big Buna Bash!”--HIH Prince Joel David Makonnen Haile Selassie
“It’s a ‘we’ world—and our children must be exposed to different races, cultures, and customs. That’s why I love The Big Buna Bash. It shows all children that differences can bring you together, and helps kids see our similarities. That’s how we raise a kinder, stronger, more empathetic generation of children—by turning ‘me’ into ‘we!’”-- Michele Borba, EdD, author of Unselfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-Me World
