I bought this for my best friend’s family, and they’ve absolutely loved it. It’s rare to find a children’s book that genuinely engages both kids and adults.The rhythm of the book is great for any age, and the characters definitely catch kids’ attention. Their 5-year-old daughter has been asking loooots of follow-up questions.

A BEAUTIFULLY illustrated book that is loved by my nephews and nieces, aged 2, 6, and 9, as well as adults! The storytelling is gorgeous and unique, and we all learned something unexpected. Love the way different cultures are represented. A must have for any child to learn about the world and different beliefs!

Not only did the kiddos learn new things, I also learnt something about every single culture and myth presented. Lots of engaging pictures and animals for the littlest ones to stay engaged too. Bravo!
