Reviews

"We Need Everyone is populated by kids of all different shapes, sizes and skin tones, with different abilities and, of course, different interests and gifts. It’s as the title says: a strong, healthy, vibrant community needs everyone."— Winnipeg Free Press

 

"We Need Everyone echoes a universal truth: we are in this world to be supportive and respectful of each other's gifts and talents. Michael's love for and commitment to this powerful idea is revealed on every page." —Fred Penner, Juno Award-winning entertainer

​"We Need Everyone is a book that has been needed for a long time! This book shows us why it is important to look for what people can bring to a community, rather than what they are missing or need to change. It also reminds us that every single one of us has something to offer, exactly as we are." —Shelley Moore, author of One Without the Other
