“What a wonderful picture book to celebrate Harmony Day with expressions of welcome from many homes, cultures, traditions & lands around the world. You too can travel and share in their friendship, learning the different welcome expressions and salutations as you read. There are also notes on pronunciation at the end of the book, along with the number of speakers of the various languages represented.
This is a beautifully written book with gorgeous illustrations which encourages us, in our many different ways, to share our practices of ‘welcome’ with others.
