After meeting the author and hearing his story, I was inspired and led to purchase this book...it did not disappoint. Not only was I impressed, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, my children (ages 8 and 12) enjoyed greatly! They commented that what they enjoyed the most, were the Illustrations and examples of different kids from different backgrounds, represented. They also liked the background descriptions and explanations. This book received the stamp of approval from my kids, and is Highly Recommended!

I like this book a lot because it tells the background of each kid that has a different ethnicity. But it also lets the readers know even if you have a different background in your life you still could be important as the next person. I really think the description about the career paths are helpful for kids to understand too. Overall great book ! My son learned a lot from this book.
