Book Reviews
“The photographs are the glue of the book,
offering students glimpses into other worlds where children just like
themselves are learning in a range of formats and locations.”
— School Library Journal
“The photography is splendid and the narrative
reinforces the theme we share, ‘We’re all more alike than
different.’”
— Partnership for Inclusion
“The book offers hopeful glimpses of children
doing what they do best—playing and learning in different cultural
contexts.”
— Teaching Tolerance
“Before the first day of school, you might
pay a reassuring visit to your child’s classroom and then share
this book, pointing out differences and similarities.”
— The Washington Post
“It is a good thing this book is available
in library binding, because children will pore over the photos searching
for clues about who these other children are and what their lives are
like.”
—Christian Library Journal
“These simple paperbacks are like global
albums.”
—Family
