I know I have been down on my of the Boys Town Books, but that is not the case this time. This book does a great job of not only introducing new cultures, but in teaching kids what to do when a person, process, or event is different from what they consider normal. Things like asking questions, trying new things, and listening to what others have to say so you can gain new knowledge. The art work goes nicely with the story, and it is all around a great book for a classroom or a library.
