What Parents Should Know

Cultural Content GapMild

Published in 2009, illustrations of people are simplified and may reflect broad cultural stereotypes.

Sensitive Topics

This book is secular and avoids sensitive topics. Its focus is on positive, interesting facts about geography and culture. The main consideration is that, being published in 2009, some of the cultural depictions are highly simplified (e.g., a person in traditional dress representing a large, diverse region). This can reinforce stereotypes if not contextualized by a parent. It presents an idealized, conflict-free view of the world, which is age-appropriate but lacks nuance.
