What We Wear: Dressing Up Around the World
By Maya Ajmera, Elise Hofer Derstine, and Cynthia Pon
What we wear says something about who we are: where we go to school, how we worship, what team we play or root for, or how we represent our heritage. Our clothes can express our individuality and make us happy, confident, and proud.
In a celebration of clothing, creativity, and colors, with photographs of exuberant children from 45 countries around the world, What We Wear inspires young readers to explore how their clothing makes them feel and how it tells the world who they are. An activity guide encourages kids to learn about the ways people dress in other countries and cultures by visiting folk festivals and museums, and by looking into their own family heritage.
School Library Journal calls What We Wear a “resplendent homage to our common humanity.” Read another review on the book blog A Patchwork of Books!
