This inspiring book is geared toward middle school readers. As the title says, it is organized in alphabetical order as a dictionary. Some of the words included in the book are acceptance, compassion, diversity, forgiveness, gratitude, hope, justice, kindness,peace, understanding and more. This title has some lovely illustrations; the book opens with one of flowers in a mug that sets the tone. The first entry is a twenty–six line poem with a line for every letter of the alphabet. Each of the following entries also includes an editorial comment and something to try. One example from the book: The letter C.
