"This is an amazing concept for a book series and I absolutely loved it. I learned a lot. I think this series should be in every school library and should be required reading for all middle school students. What a wonderful way to learn about the differences and the similarities of so many different cultures and countries."

"This series is both educational and heartwarming. It teaches acceptance, diversity, and the idea that people everywhere share common dreams."

"Perfect for classrooms and families. My kids loved learning about other countries while realizing how much we all have in common."

"I wasn't sure what type of book this was, but after I read the first letter, I got more intrigued as I read more. It is very interesting to read about the different countries and facts presented in each letter by children. This is a great book to read to your kids to show them what other kids from other countries are like."

"I am getting my passport out. Some of these locations appear so fascinating the reader can understand why its citizens have pride where they reside. Fantastic series."

"I'm embarrassed to admit that this book is aimed at kids, but it's full of information about the world that I didn't know (and probably 'should' know) as an adult! For instance, that Panama uses US currency, and how Saudi Arabia gets their water. What's also great about this book is the emphasis on careers and the wide variety of career ideas featured. The chapters, though PACKED with information, are short; which makes it a non-overwhelming read. I left this book wanting to check out her other books!"
