Reviews for Just Like You

[cherryblossommj_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a delightful and beautifully imagined children's book that aides a parent in educating their child about other children around the world "just like" them. Loved by family and God alike with different culture and ways of celebrating, but in all the same. I enjoyed this book and look forward to sharing it time and again with my own child. My only thought on how the book could be better in my own eyes is if the "mommy" term were changed per the country. That I think would be educational as well.

I do recommend this for anyone with a little one to grow with.
