## About this book

If This Were the World is a children's book that explores imagination and environmental awareness through the lens of school life. When a student named Omeed asks his classmates to imagine an orange as their entire world, Ms. Lee's class begins a spirited competition to find the ideal replacement for their reality. This story blends elements of social skills and school life as the students consider various objects, from dodgeballs to maple trees, as potential new worlds.

As the children search for a perfect alternative, they leave a trail of destruction in their wake. This narrative serves as a lesson in recycling and green living, guiding readers toward the realization that our own planet is the only one that meets every need. If This Were the World combines witty banter and friendship to highlight the importance of nature and protecting the environment.
