A celebration of diverse world cultures from the brilliant Peter Spier, one of the most beloved children's illustrators of the last fifty years. In this breathtaking tour around the world, young readers can pore over the many details that make each country and culture unique and special—illuminated by Spier's detailed and witty illustrations of festivals and holidays, foods, religions, homes, pets, and clothing. In print since 1980, this classic, boundary-pushing book is a must-have in today's global age—a tribute to the ways in which we as the world's citizens are at once both different and the same.

Good introduction to different cultures

This book is beautifully illustrated and introduces children to the various cultures and people in the world. A very important takeaway for my kids is that there are many others who look and think differently from us. And that is okay.

interesting book on different facets of life

this book introduces different takes on life, such as languages, residences, foods, etc. the book could be better structured though: currently feels like a mish-mash of life topics.

Stunning illustrations

There are more than just nationalities introduced in this book, there are cultures, appearances, attitudes and a lot more. It is a book worth reading to our children to instil positive values in them!

Widening a child's view of the world

We loved 人 because we want to raise children who are colour-blind, this book simply yet beautifully shows us how the variety in something to be cherished. We highly recommend this title.

真实生动的插图，非常推荐！

孩子渐渐长大，发现周围的朋友和他们有不同之处，例如肤色，语言等。这本书让小朋友们明白世界上有不同国籍的人。我们很喜欢书里那真实生动的插图。

谢谢 Fang Ting 的分享! Indeed this book is really helpful in letting our little ones learn about people of all different nationalities. We absolutely love the illustrations within too, just like your family!
