I received an electronic ARC from Charlesbridge through NetGalley and Edelweiss+.
Lovely photo book showing children playing in countries all over the world. Ajmera presents how similar kids are everywhere as they gather to play and have fun. Readers will relate to games played in different countries and recognize how similar children are. Vividly colored photographs bring the message to life.

My kids loved this book filled with pictures of children all over the world playing just like they do! The real photos will garner a round of applause from every Montessori parent, and I think it's important for kids to be exposed, even through photos, to different cultures.
