Review Quotes

The book is filled with interesting information about cultures around the world. It is like a little trip and it is inspiring to the reader. I like the stories, the favorite things of the lead character that show us more about each culture and the games/recipes/activities to demonstrate more about the culture. --Nappa Awards Review

The Book of Cultures is an exceptional way for families to begin and/or continue meaningful conversations with their children about different cultures around the world. A family can spend an extended amount of time getting to know one culture after another and discussing how they are similar and different. The stories are engaging, fun to read, and are the perfect length for bedtime reading. This book is an excellent way for parents to teach children that the world is much bigger than they may have imagined, but also that we all share similar experiences. The book's design is colorful and full of fun. --The National Parenting Center

There are ample treasures to be had in the 30 beautifully-illustrated fictional stories contained in this delightful hardcover book. Each unfolds in a different part of the world and focuses on a young person who calls that place home (Ana from Brazil, Karim from Egypt, and so on). While short enough to be taken in during a single sitting, each tale vividly lives on in young learners' minds well after the reading is done, reinforced by fun facts and engaging activities that immediately follow the story. The Book of Cultures is an apt title for a book that entertainingly offers up authentic insights into vibrant cultures we might otherwise only dream of encountering. Kids come away with a powerful and enduring sense of fascination for the wondrous people, places and traditions our incredibly diverse world has to offer. --Tillywig Awards
