REVIEWS

Who Are We? is beautifully illustrated and provides so many opportunities for educators to explore complex ideas about diversity. This book engages universal themes of identity in order to connect students from different backgrounds. The simple text and stunning imagery provide a great tool for thinking critically about how students can find common understanding in the face of varying perspectives.

- Carol F., Columbia Teachers College

The Living in Harmony Series of books teaches kids to embrace diversity and act kindly toward others. With its central theme that we all have more similarities than differences, this deceptively simple and endearing series is a valuable resource to cultivate compassion in our children.

Beautifully illustrated and strategically organized to honor and leverage linguistic and cultural diversity via representation and inclusion. True 'window and mirrors' books that promote unity amongst diversity!

- Kelly Aldinger, ESL Teacher, Albany

The Living in Harmony books captivate the essence of American diversity. The books beautifully crafted illustrations represent the faces of ALL my students and the simple words teach powerful lessons of kindness, acceptance, understanding, and friendship. Teachers looking to introduce diverse texts for young readers in their classroom libraries, look no further!
