About the Author :
Beverly Kievman Copenis an entrepreneur, published author and award winning professional photographer. She has a lifetime of experience in sales, marketing and communications; and a passion for creating innovative education products.

Review :
Beverly Copen is a true visionary. Whatever she touches becomes professional, important and deserving to be highly recognized. This book is yet another example. I have watched Beverly create a model and talent agency; create a plan for building the film business in Georgia, and a book for caregivers to help people through difficult times. And now, with camera in hand, has created an educational photography book to help young people become more aware of cultures and places around the world. We are so lucky she keeps bringing us the experience of such wondrous foresight. This remarkable little book is a visually stunning, thought-provoking educational tool for preteens and teens who are living in a world of intersecting cultures, global markets, social media and world-wide communications that open the places and people of the world to unprecedented connections. The book's photographs and text reveal not only the beauty and diversity of our planet and its people, but also the common threads of humanity and aspiration that bind us all together. If I were a middle-school teacher of social studies or geography or world affairs, I'd want to share the lessons of this gently-inspiring book with my students. Your Eyes Are Your Windows to the World is a rich tapestry of cultural understanding through photography, a global portrait aimed at the world's youth. The better we understand one another, the smaller the distance between our cultures, the more peaceful the planet is. Beverly Copen's warm, inviting book serves as a vehicle for greater understanding, and as such should be a staple in classrooms everywhere. Your Eyes are Your windows to the World is an innovative and creative book which provides a rich medium for students of all ages to explore themselves in relationship to others in the world. Through beautiful photographs from around the globe and with thought provoking questions, Ms. Copen asks all of us to open our eyes and mind to explore other cultures, uncover our dreams and believe in ourselves by understanding our choices. As an educational leader in this era of internationalization, I endorse this book heartily for all educators seeking to globalize their curriculum and help their students become global citizens. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is vital that students learn early in their education to appreciate and understand the cultural variety of the global landscape. Your Eyes are Your Windows to the World will allow young minds to encounter societies they have yet to experience and spark a lifelong desire for discovery. Beverly Copen is an innate explorer. She found a connecting theme in her photography, in order to capture through her unique vision, the natural expression and innocence that is reflected in the eyes of children she has encountered throughout her travels. Her photographs have the magical effect of discovering through the eyes of the children she captures: spaces, faces, and cultures of the different corners of the world. The freedom through which they wear their traditional clothes, allows us to connect with their distinct realities, creating scenarios that help us understand cultural diversity. In the globalized world that we find in our daily life, this has great value. The reality and richness that each one of the photographs generates, is in itself a cultural heritage that we may all enjoy. I can imagine the book Your Eyes are Your Windows to the World in the hands of children and youths, where words are unnecessary, allowing them to build their world and generate their own ideas with their imagination. The photographic world built by Beverly is a tool to educate in values, understand the differences, and similarities from one culture to another; allowing children to re-create friends in distant lands. It’s an incentive for young people’s interminable questions with regards to how other people live, and for adults to research these cultures more in depth. This leads the reader to an understanding of the different ways in which people around the world live; and thus to learn to respect how people express joy, pain, sadness, anger, or religious beliefs and practices. To educate with a new mentality that is more open to equality of human beings, with respect to values, religions, traditions, ethnicity of each persons is the only way to build world peace.
