Same, Same But Different by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw
4.0
This is on the 2014 Monarch list.
Even though this book simplifies cultures, I really liked the way it showed two boys from different parts of the world learning about each other through an art-based pen pal program. The power is in the images--the collage, the bright colors, the nuances. My preschool-aged boys loved looking for the parallels and differences in Elliott's and Kailash's pages. For little boys like mine who are just learning that the world is a very big place, this book was a helpful way to open their minds a little further.
