Books can help you get to know people in other countries and appreciate their values and lives.
American children benefit from diverse books about kids from other countries and backgrounds.
We can become wiser by seeking wisdom in older people and those from other religions and cultures.
A wise and admirable company is one that aims to do well while doing good.
