AMAZING PLACES – #READ YOUR WORLD

January 29, 2021 By Claire Annette Noland Leave a Comment

It’s Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2021
#ReadYourWorld
MCBD, a celebration of the diversity of kidlit, was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen and is back for its eighth year and I am excited to be supporting the mission of MCBD which helps parents, teachers, librarians and students by increasing awareness of the need for diversity in children’s literature. Publishers and authors generously share their diverse and own voices books so that people like me can share them with people like you. For more information and to join the MCBD Twitter party check out the links I’ve included.
AMAZING PLACES
by Miralda Colomba (author) and Beatrice Cerocchi (illustrator)
Barefoot Books: 2020
Setting: The World
Themes: Geography, world culture, travel
The book begins:
Tips For Travel: There are incredible sights to see all over the world, whether you travel around the globe or just to the next town. The fifteen landmarks in theis book are only a few among countless amazing places on every continent. No matter where your travels take you, remember to come with a curious mind that is ready to learn and grow from trying new things. Speak and act with kindness and respect for the people you meet. And try to leave a place the way you found it, so that others can enjoy it after you. 
What’s the most amazing place you’ve ever seen?
Now, that’s good advice. Doesn’t that make you want to dive right in?
For those of us who love to travel through books, AMAZING PLACES is a book you need to add to your collection. In this beautiful book, readers are invited to travel to important places and monuments around the world including the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, and the Sydney Opera House. Fifteen different places are introduced and each includes amazing things to see, a word to know, an important person or thing, a story, a WOW factor, and my favorite, what to pack.
A world map is also included and explained as well as the definition of different types of monuments. AMAZING PLACES is beautifully illustrated and will be enjoyed by all arm-chair travelers as we dream about where in the world we want to go.
I am thankful to Bafefoot Books for sharing the perfect book with me so that I can share it with you.
