I read this book for my multicultural text set and found it to be very enjoyable read. Each page featured a family from a different area of the world. I liked that at the end of the book, it showed a small version of the pictures on each page with a short biography about where the picture took place and what is happening in that picture. I loved this addition to the book because it showed which family traditions occur in other countries. Another reason I liked this book is that it had very simple language. It focused on one verb, such as "catching" and "making," and then wrote simple sentences with that verb to show what families around the world did with one another. I felt it was a simple yet powerful book. It was easy to read because the focus was more on the pictures than the words. The main message of this book is that families all look very different and have many different traditions, but they are still family.
I liked this book for three reasons. I thought that the illustrations were really powerful. Because they were real, you could get a real sense of family and what they were doing and feeling at the specific time. My favorite photograph was the "Dancing a turn or two." with the little girl standing on her father's feet. I felt that because I connected with this photo, other readers could as well. Another thing I liked about this book was the writing. Every page usually ended with "me and you" and I thought that the use of this repetition was key to this book because of the meaning that it was trying to get across. A final reason I liked this book was the last couple of pages. It was because of these pages that made me go from just saying this book was okay, to really liking it. These pages allowed me to see where the families in the pictures were actually from and I liked that because I would have never guessed where some of these pictures were taken. The big message of this book is that love between parents is universal. It is shown throughout the words and mostly pictures of parents and children taken around the world.
I believe this is an exciting, educational book which was successful for two main reasons. First, its real-life photography as the story's illustration brought the text to life and was the main delivery of the story. The text was used to simply highlight the photography of families from around the world and was used as captions to the full page images. The pictures told more of a story than the text could have provided and presented family life all over the world to its readers. The second reason I enjoyed this book so much was that it lets readers see diverse cultures that they may not have previously been exposed to. This book is a great resource for readers about other cultures all around the world by showing them different family's experiences depending on where they live. For example one of the photos presented is of a family walk, although their experience entails walking with a gigantic sack of hay on the mother's back, which is shown through the photograph. This book presents how different family's life experiences are in different parts of the world, even if the actual activities are technically the same. Families do things very differently in different cultures and parts of the world, but still have each other to share their experiences with.
I liked this book; it was a collection of photographs of people with their kids from all around the world. It featured all ethnicities, and many different locations. The pictures in this book told the loose story. There wasn't much of a plot, but there were fantastic photographs of parents and children in "action shots"- always doing things and typically not even looking at the camera. The photos were of people just happily living their lives, and they were from all around the world. This brings me to another reason I liked the book. The multitude of ethnicities featured in this book encourage the reader to consider other ethnicities as similar to their own. Furthermore, enjoying spending time with your child is one of the most human things someone can do, and this encourages the reader to consider all of these other cultures with a more compassionate mindset. The message of this book is that it is wonderful to spend time with your child, and that all people, all around the world enjoy doing it.
I love that this book includes books from around the world. It would be a great way to show children all about different races and their cultures. I think it is a great extra, that the back of the book shows a map and where all of the people are from. This would be a great way to tie in some geography.
I liked the book. The text was minimal, and the photography was great. The last page had a message from the head of the Children's Defense Fund that seemed a bit preachy for my tastes, though protecting children is a noble pursuit. All in all, it was a nice book.
