The books are told from the first-person perspectives of young protagonists who interact with people in their communities, which will help kids relate directly to the subject matter. The cheerful, appealing illustrations complement the text, which <strong>is clear and straightforward yet also nuanced and culturally sensitive</strong>. Covering topics such as meals, languages, houses of worship, and a diverse and inclusive mix of families, the series <strong>emphasizes that it's best not to ignore differences but to learn more about them.</strong> VERDICT: <strong>All students can benefit from this series.</strong>―<em>School Library Journal, Series Made Simple</em></p>-- "Journal" (4/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
