"A truly amazing book, beautifully written, with amazing pictures and with stories that touch your heart and open a window to the world. Thank you! A truly fabulous resource for the kids but for adults too."

"Children of all ages will love these thoughtfully written stories about new "friends" around the world, and connect with the beautiful illustrations that go with each one. It's a great tool to support social-emotional development, reading about children who are in some ways different than them, but in many ways the same. The activities are a wonderful extension of the stories."

"I just got my copy and I just have to say: WELL DONE!!!! As soon as it came to the school, I had to share it with all my elementary colleagues and we all gushed over it! It's so pretty, and so well done and well-rounded and oh my gosh! Thank you for creating this wonderful work of art!"

"An amazing book which brings the world to you: "Our 4yr old daughter loves this book and cannot get enough of it. She really feels with the buddies, their stories and emotions. Wonderful illustrations and impressions of all over the world! "

"A fun way to take a trip around the world through cute stories, fun facts, games, and beautiful illustrations."

"My work as a nurse, human development professor, therapist and mother/aunt has given me a good understanding of what appeals to children and what is appropriate for different ages. This book should appeal to a wide range of ages, including adults. The inclusion of interesting facts and fun activities make it a wonderful teaching tool as well as a story book. I am also an avid reader who buys books for gifts. I want to buy a copy of this book for every child I know. Congratulations on a wonderful addition to children's literature."

"Our kids absolutely love this book! Thank you so much for creating the magical stories and giving all of us a glimpse into so many different cultures! It’s easy to understand with bright whimsical pictures! It was definitely worth the wait!"

"I have always wanted to explore the world with my kids, teaching them everything I can about the amazing planet they live on!!! Obviously traveling with young kids is not a logical thing to do, but this book gave me the tools I needed to bring the world to my home!!! We've been learning so much and having so much fun doing it!!! I recommend this book 1000%!!!"
