The Sparkles Within by Aditi Wardhan Singh
4.0
informative medium-paced

 
This book is interesting. The idea is that there’s going to be a party and all the friends are invited to participate in a talent show, but they have to include their culture with their talent show. The book explains a little bit about of the difference between a racial culture and a home culture. And then uses a lot of words to describe actions that the main character plans on doing in her talent show. Very thankful for the glossary in the back. The illustrations are nice and overall, I think the story is too long. As a way to teach about different cultures I think it’s great. For story time, it’s a bit much.
