Editorial Reviews

Review

"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!" Christy Burbridge


"This book is educational and entertaining. I enjoyed reading the stories of different countries and states and learning fun facts. It felt as though I was on a journey myself. This is a must read for kids and should be in schools." Joi Kelly


"I thoroughly enjoyed reading the short essays from different young people, of all ages, from many different parts of the world. Each had an interesting way of revealing something--historical and/or current--about where they lived, and about themselves. What a great way for young people to learn about other people, who live, speak differently than they do, but have similar feelings, experiences, goals, and aspirations. Older people can learn something, too!" Janice S. Ellis

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

First, let me say - I didn’t set out to become a writer. I was too busy running — literally.

At fourteen, I was a competitive runner with my eyes on the finish line… until a friend (bless his clumsy soul) accidentally shattered my knee and my athletic dreams in one fell swoop. Overnight, I went from racing tracks to lying flat on my back, trapped beneath a fortress of blankets and a towering stack of Harlequin romances.

My dad took one look at those bodice-rippers scattered across my bed, said nothing, and disappeared — only to return moments later, drop a book onto my lap, and declare: “You need to broaden your reading horizons.” The book was Iceberg by Clive Cussler. And just like that, my fate was sealed. Dirk Pitt became my new hero. Adventure, mystery, danger — all danced off the page and straight into my imagination. While my knee healed, a new dream took shape: I wanted to whisk readers away on thrilling journeys of their own.

So here I am: a writer fueled by a twist of fate, a determined dad, and the legendary Clive Cussler. And while I may not be sprinting down tracks anymore, I’m still chasing stories — and loving every second of the race.​

It means the world to have you here with me. May my stories spark your imagination as wildly as they've sparked mine.

    Did you know Sumo wrestlers in Japan try to make babies cry in an annual event to drive away demon spirits? The passages within this book are filled with such fun trivia as you meet kids from all over the world that share why they’re proud to be who they are. A fun way of learning about the world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars “It’s a Small World” of the Author’s Imagination
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is book six in the author’s “I am proud” series, available as eBook, paperback, and hardcover. It consists of one- to two-page autobiographical vignettes with national highlights of youths from 19 different countries or states of the USA. The author’s expressed purpose is to show we’re all alike though varying in language, religion, customs, and colors. She informs readers that her characters—the youths—are fictitious, though inspired by real people. The countries and states are genuine; for example, Benin, Chile, Czech Republic, Fiji, and so forth, on to Wisconsin. The book is organized alphabetically by location name. Each vignette comprises what reads like text to a stranger in the USA from an intelligent, well-educated, and friendly youth along with colorful photos of national flags, native peoples, and activities in their daily lives. The vignettes are similar, all well written and edited.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice concept
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022

    I bought this with the goal of helping my niece and nephew open their minds to how unique other people's life experiences are. This book achieved that. In fact, it got them so curious we spent the afternoon learning more about these cultures and places on Youtube.

    I agree with other reviewers, the graphics and formatting could use more effort, but overall I can't ding the book too much for that because, as I mentioned, it got the kids excited to learn more about other cultures and seemed to bother me more than it did them lol.

    This book is a good idea and easy way to introduce diversity to children. It's one of those books every family with children should have in their home. The stories can make for quick bedtime reading or an easy reading-time assignment. The book reads fast to keep children's attention. Nice job.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to World Culture for Kids
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    I really enjoyed this book and how it gave a brief but thoughtful example of what it's like to live in a specific country. Although this is a series, this book stands alone in terms of showcasing different places of the world and what it's like for a kid to live there. I liked that each of the vignettes focuses on unique yet very relatable experiences for children in any country, and that the author is not afraid to mention socio-political issues, such as class distinctions and the like. I can see how this would be a great tool in a classroom for a project-based assignment to help kids learn how to research and write about other cultures and what makes them special.

    5.0 out of 5 stars We Continue Traveling Around Our World
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    We’re moving on to visit nineteen other places on our earth. Some of these places are states in the United States. In these one-page chapters, we find a letter from a resident of each country or state. Next to the state, we see their flag flying proudly. As we read the letter, the citizen describes his or her country.

    The illustrations are well done in bright colors. They painted each resident in the illustration and smiling out at you. Each illustration is painted to look like a photograph.
