This book is a fantastic way to show children that even though children all around the world may seem different, they are more similar to them than they may think. It is very nice to see in this book that children of all different races and cultures are represented. The illustrations are amazing because all these different types of people are shown. The book goes through children from all over the world, saying "hi" in their own languages. This can help kids to remember that not everyone speaks the same language as them, but they are probably saying and thinking the same things that they are. The book also emphasizes that children all over the world go to school, and this is also another way that children can connect to other children around the world. Although this book is very simple and most likely used in the younger grades, I feel that this book could be read by children up to the 5th grade. On the other hand, this book is very repetitive and follows a pattern, which will help younger children follow along with the book. ( )
