I really enjoyed this book. Although I am a white woman, I am trying to bring up my kids in a world where diversity is the norm. It is hard to do in a very white state, so I figured books from all situations is the best way I can do this. I expected to to be focused more on more detail...
?An ABC book like no other?. The authors certainly got that right. A rhyming tale of noteworthy people, past and present. Whether or not I?m familiar with all the people mentioned is not important. What is important is the fact that everyone should be familiar with most and get t...
