“Large color photographs (occasionally composed of montages) and accessible, simple text highlight global similarities and differences, always focusing on our universal connections…Engaging, well-chosen images and a clear, coherent text illuminate the importance of empathy for the world’s inhabitants.”

A World Together

Written by Sonia Manzano
Published by National Geographic Kids

Sonia Manzano brings warmth and wit to this timely picture book that looks across cultures and generations to celebrate what unites us, wherever we come from.

Manzano’s lyrical prose combined with stunning photography of people from dozens of countries around the world explores how all of our lives are enriched by our geographic and cultural diversity. Kids see how people around the world look, dress, and spend their day, and learn that what we enjoy and value—friends, family, food, play—may sometimes look different, but deep down is the same wherever you go.

This lovely picture book from a first-generation American affirms our common humanity as it presents the glorious similarities and differences that connect us all.
