Sonia Manzano, Sesame Street's beloved character Maria, brings
warmth and wit to this timely picture book that looks across cultures
and generations to celebrate what unites us, wherever we come from.
Manzano's lyrical prose combined with stunning photography of people
from dozens of countries around the world explores how all of our lives
are enriched by our geographic and cultural diversity. Kids see how
people around the world look, dress, and spend their day, and learn that
what we enjoy and value--friends, family, food, play--may sometimes look
different, but deep down is the same wherever you go.
This lovely picture book from a first-generation American affirms our
common humanity as it presents the glorious similarities and differences
that connect us all. It's a charming book to share with friends and
family and to read aloud with little ones. It has an inspiring message:
With laugher and love, we can help bring a world together.
