A brightly illustrated picture book offers five simple stories that celebrate the oneness of humanity alongside its rich diversity. Originally written in Tetum for spiritual education classes in East Timor, it introduces universal principles through vivid imagery and concise text designed for young readers.

Each narrative employs concrete metaphors—coloured cotton woven into cloth, fruits on a single tree, stars sharing one sky, members of one body and distinct notes combining into a perfect chord—to make abstract themes tangible. The five titles—God’s Tais, The Eye that Wanted to Live Alone, A Perfect Chord, Stars of One Heaven and Fruit of One Tree—guide children through playful scenarios that illustrate cooperation, interdependence and mutual respect.

By presenting these foundational lessons in accessible form, the book becomes a practical tool for early moral and spiritual development. Educators and parents will find a versatile resource for fostering empathy and inclusive values, laying the groundwork for compassionate and harmonious children.
