REVIEWS An extraordinary book. Publishers Weekly This unusual, sensitive book really brings out our shared human experiences, regardless of race. Child Education A winner. What I liked about the book was that each kid's life seems far more interesting and exciting than the other's, and it's a hook that I can't see a young reader getting off. Times Educational Supplement Gray understands that children are capable of insight and compassion, even into complex issues. The Irish Times Conveys the most complicated ideas effortlessly. Mother Magazine Terrific. Catholic Library World A unique book. Focus Never condescends or patronises. Five Owls Simple in concept, yet rich in execution. Booklist An ingenious and worthwhile idea. The School Librarian A wonderful picture book. A welcome addition to the collection. Nassau Library System Well executed and intriguing. Junior Bookshelf Unique among picture books, it avoids didacticism while joyfully celebrating the kinship of human cultures. Review This book covers a portion of the early social studies curriculum far better than any textbook. Times Herald There is no sense that one life is better than the other, rather that they are the same tapestry rewoven with a slightly different thread. Parents Magazine A wonderful book. Wings Wow! The possibilities for follow-up in the classroom seem endless. Excellent. Maine Collection Cleverly done. Lindsay Mackie Unusual and thought-provoking. Kent & Sussex Courier
