A broad and gentle introduction to immigration, including some of the reasons people might need to leave their homes and settle elsewhere, and how to make newcomers feel welcome - with a smile, a wave, sharing food, singing and playing together.

Note to readers

Endpapers show big, multicolored text reading "I'm here" in a variety of languages (

Our World is a family is a wonderful positive book. Its goal is to explain to children how to welcome newcomers, regardless of where they come from. In very simple words, the authors explain the topics of migration and refugees, emphasizing the difficulties that can push a person to leave their country and why it is important for them to feel safe and at home in the new place.

I love how the book gives specific examples of how to be welcoming : smile, hand, gift, share food or drink and create things together. The art is beautiful and inclusive : children and adults of different religions, origins and languages are represented. It shares a child-friendly message about empathy, hospitality and compassion.

All of the people in the world are part of one family, so if new people come to our neighborhood we need to do simple things to help them to feel welcome. That is the basic tenet of this book which illustrates people from different countries and circumstances, even wheelchairs and sturdy long-term crutches. Simple phrases of welcome are included in several different languages and the people are wearing different styles of colorful clothing. This is an excellent book to enjoy with our households as we welcome others. The illustrations are colorful and delightful.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook from SOURCEBOOKS Kids, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky via NetGalley. Thank you! (
