We’re Saving the World: A fifth grade class in Southern Oregon decides to send copies of a book to all the governors in the USA. Why? Because one day Sharon Mehdi sat down and wrote an inspirational story for her granddaughter, a fable about women standing silently for peace. It was a children’s story for adults that showed how each person can make a difference. And that’s just what happened. Encouraged by others to self-publish “The Great Silent Grandmother Gathering”, the little pamphlet soon took on a life of its own and was purchased by a major publisher. “We’re Saving the World” will uplift your spirits as it shows how generations can come together. Here’s a story that will leave you believing that there is still hope for the future.
