Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Esther lives in Uganda and "want to be a pilot." In Barbados, Arjun attends "a special school for children with autism, like me." Yousef, a Syrian living in a Jordanian refugee camp, describes planting mint for tea. These are just a few of the children aged seven to 12 "on six continents and more than 70 countries" in Lonely Planet Kids's offering, created in partnership with War Child UK, a nonprofit supporting children in conflict zones. In scrapbooklike spreads, children describe their family, home, likes, and dislikes, mentioning different facets of their experience--including autism and using a wheelchair--and describing a variety of family structures. Though LGBTQ representation is a notable omission, the book largely succeeds in its mission to show "how much children have in common." Ages 6--8. (Sept.)
