Archbishop Desmond Tutu has a vision of God's dream, which he shares here with young listeners. It involves people who reach out and hold each other's hands but sometimes get angry and hurt each other — and say they're sorry and forgive. It's a wish that everyone will see they are brothers and sisters, no matter their way of speaking to God, no matter the size of their nose or the shade of their skin. An activity and discussion follow reading of the book by parishioner Patricia Martin.
