Twelve different mothers from twelve different regions of the world teach their sons universal lessons in life which lead them to become men. Although these children’s appearances vary from the one of the reader/listener, their day-to-day activities are collectively experienced throughout the world. Accompanying each picture is the culture’s language, a picture of its own to eyes accustomed to the Roman alphabet.

The poetic form of the verse allow an easy and harmonious read.
