Stunning phtography from Morocco, Guatemala, Tajikistan and many more countries really brings this book to life (Green Parent)

One of the most effective ways to encourage children to embrace their differences is to encourage an interest in and empathy towards, each other and this book certainly does that. As with the previous book, full-colour photographs make for visually stimulating sharing and the locations chosen are varied and fascinating. Readers will want to search the map at the back to locate the children they have been reading about and thus have an effective introduction to world geography. (Armadillo Magazine)

Nursery teams would find the photographs in these books an attractive and helpful resource for early geography projects like people and places. (Books for Keeps)

Should certainly be attractive to the young children for whom the book is intended. (Ibby Link)
