 Kids love it!
This is one of the books that my preschool class wore out (not tore up!) halfway through the school year! Older children can read the culturally sensitive text and all children love the colorful, interesting pictures.
My only problem with the book is the naked, rear view of Adam and Eve in the beginning. Children tend to giggle at it as well as wanting an explanation of who those people are; which causes a problem in the classroom and occasionally an issue with parents when their chilren tell about it at home. And that's not MY problem with the book; it's just the way it is in our society. society. Someone could simply glue those pages together or exise them with a sharp knife, but I don't recommend that.
Learn AND celebrate our differences!
"People" is a book not just for children, but for adults also. Reading--rather--talking about the pictures in the book with your child or your co-worker is learning about how different our world is and how diversity is beautiful. It's fun to see how people from all over the world look, play, pray, dress and eat in different ways; sometimes in a very silly way--depending on which side you are. I have used the book for many years in my human rights education workshops and I will use it now with adults to do inter-cultural relations and communications workshops. This book belongs in every child, student, family, and human relations manager's bookshelf.
The simple text and many illustrations tell about people
People shows children how different people are, and how those differences make us special. People focuses on a variety of different aspects of a variety of cultures and societies around the world, giving an illustration for each example it references. The simple text allows young children to comprehend the meaning and moral of the story, while the mini illustrations allow older children to briefly explore how people in other areas of the world eat, worship, and write, among other things. In the end, People reminds the reader, that these differences make the world interesting, and that if something someone else does seems weird to us, something we do surely seems just as strange to them!
