Namaste is a popular phrase in Yoga culture. It's the greeting you say at the end of a session. "The divine in me honors the divine in you." 

This sweet book put that phrase into action. How can you live that phrase and make the world a better place? The illustrations are engaging and I love how the little girl navigates through breaking her potted plant, fixing it, and then giving it to an elderly adult. It's so kind. Diversity is well represented in this simple yet powerful story.
