The 2015 April A to Z blog challenge begins in a few short hours. This year I am excited to be a member of Pam’s Unconventional Alliance blogging team. In addition to posting daily, I will also be visiting the blogs of other writers.
I am taking a blog tour of children’s books set in different locations around the world. Books provide a place where kids can meet other kids who are different in some ways but also have many things in common. Most of the books I’ve chosen to highlight are picture books. Illustrations combined with text can show us so much about other cultures and other’s lives. I’ve set a challenge-within- a challenge this year. Join me if you can and see if you can find kids’ books in the categories I’ve listed. Grab a book and find a comfy chair. Let’s go!

I look forward to seeing your posts this month! I love to travel and learn about other cultures, and sometimes I can do that by reading a book.
What a cool idea! I don’t have children yet but if and when I do, I want them to have a broad understanding of the world and other cultures. This is a great way to do it!
