English | Hardback / bound | 9788000067957 | 2023 | 36 Pages
Selected for the Spring 2023 Showcase: Spring Into a New You by The Children's Book Council "Games from many parts of the world are spotlighted, allowing the reader to have a diverse experience while simultaneously creating connections from children to see themselves as part of something bigger. The reference style book was a bit too much for my younger children, but works great a guide for our lessons of cultures around the world. It opens up a lot more conversation, and offers a fun way to learn about other countries." —YA Books Central "I really loved the design of this book and the way the information is broken up into small paragraphs for easy reading.

I appreciated that the information about each different culture is presented without bias or judgement." —Luminous Libro Blog "This was a fact-filled journey around the world. The book was well illustrated with detailed images that complemented the content well. Reading through the book allows the reader to visit different countries and catch a glimpse of the childhood games from around the world. It was interesting how many of the games have expanded out of their country of origin to be played here in the US." —Netgalley-Librarian

"A bright and colorful look at what homes look like all over the world! I loved how each home had something special and unique that was pointed out." ―Emilee M., NetGalley-Reviewer "My children and I loved this book. There are nice, colorful illustrations to keep the little ones’ attention. Each dwelling examined is shown and a child living there explains how it’s built, how the family uses tools, electricity, water, and how they obtain food. My seven-year-old loved learning about different cultures from around the world and how children his age live and spend time in other parts of the world. We really enjoyed exploring via this book; it would be perfect for kids through elementary school age at home and in the classroom." ―Megan G., NetGalley-Educator "Colorful, detailed, and fascinating guide to types of dwellings around the world.

How Kids Celebrate Holidays Around the World
English | Hardback / bound | 9788000061306 | 2021 | 36 Pages
"This was a wonderful celebration of a diverse cultures and holidays across the globe. In this book we get to visit 15 different areas and learn about the holidays that are celebrated in these places. Many of these celebrations I have never heard of until reading this book […] Readers will also learn about the different foods or activities associated with the holiday. This book is extremely diverse in the illustrations and truly celebrates the global diversity of holidays and people who celebrate them. The illustrations are fun, and they incorporate many of the colors and illustrations that are culturally relevant based on the holiday." ―Youth Services Book Review "An engaging picture book. Each page spread includes an image of the celebration, surrounded by numbered boxes that call out specific celebrations shown, including foods, activities, and other key events of the holidays. This is a really fun look at different holidays around the world. The inclusion of a character that guides the journey through each holiday is a nice touch to bring a personal note to each page and add a bit of a storyline along the way. The breadth of countries and holidays (15) is also great with just enough detail to get the highlights of the events." ―YA Books Central
