Fantastic story to explain to children all about heritage and genealogy! Will definitely purchase for my schools!

This felt a little dated and could have perhaps gone a little bit deeper than it did. Could be used as an introduction for youngest readers.

This book would be great for a classroom setting. For students to go about studying their heritage. But for story time, it doesn’t really work.

I thought that this book was well done. I appreciated the focus on different cultures and that we are unique in many ways but also similar in many more. I wish it was a bit more... Fun? My son would have had a hard time paying attention to this one

This is an interesting book discussing where each child’s family originally came from. Each child has their own story to tell and I think children will enjoy reading about each place they came from. I especially love the part of the book where the reader is given a chance to find out about their own story as well.

This is one of my favorite subject, heritage. How do you perceive people by the food the ate, and understand them better by knowing their traditions and beliefs. I always love to know the heritage of some people. The interracial marriage made new traditions that enrich both sides of the traditions.

Some people who lived in the tropics tend to cured their meat, add spices that can preserve the meat for some times. The people are usually cheerful and open-arms to strangers. I never remark this but later on when people told me, I began to pay more attention to it.

It is good then to make children learn other traditions, respecting them and enjoying another art de vivre.

This book introduces young children to the concept of family heritage. The story includes different ethnic backgrounds and a mixed-race family, and ends with the children sharing about their heritage at a communal event. It's very simple, and each page has a takeaway point or discussion questions in bold. This is designed for education, and isn't a storybook, but it is very cute, and covers basic concepts in a way that elementary-aged kids can understand. The book also includes a glossary of terms in the back. Families can read this together to learn about different cultures and talk about their heritage, and it would be a great option for the classroom.

This is the cutest book!! I would use this in a classroom setting for a read aloud when talking about different things. All of the kids are excited to see where their friends families come from. They meet up at the end with a celebration. Everyone brings their own food and they get to taste it all. At the end of the book, it has a small note from the author, with questions that can be asked by whoever read the book. It allows for the reader to find out where their family comes from.

I thought this book was awesome! It really opens the door for teaching children to be appreciative of being different and unique. The children came from all around the world, it touched on indigenous cultures, it portrayed an array of families, and it was just overall a great eye opener. My daughter thought this book was really cool, she especially enjoyed learning about Japan, a country she’s always wanted to visit. We greatly enjoy books that allow us a glimpse into the world and this accomplished that. I’d easily recommend this book to friends and families.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Celebrate cultures, food, music, and others when 5 friends participate in their school's Heritage Festival. You are introduced to each of these 5 individuals and their cultures of different foods, music and customs. What a great way to learn about how others live, where they come from, and how they contribute to communities.

We have a festival like this at my community and this book to share with your children will share the excitement of all the different cultures. You might learn something from your own family as well.

A special thank you to Kids Can Press and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This lovely picture book explores different cultures through a group of friends. It’s a great way to introduce heritage activities, teach geography, and promote cultural education. I especially liked the inclusion of Native American heritage. Perfect for the primary classroom.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

Just like the other books in this series, this one is a win! I love how there are diverse cultures and experiences represented in the book. It really shows how all families are different, but still the same. We share important values that are reflected in our celebrations, customs, and foods. I cannot wait to purchase a copy of this to add to the rest of the collection in my classroom library!

The story gives information about heritage, including music, food, and traditions.there is nonfiction information in the sidebars and captions. They are not really characters, just names of oriole to explain different heritages. I like how it asks a reader to find out about their own heritages.

See Where We Come From! by Scot Ritchie introduces five friends from different backgrounds. They are given an assignment to share a food, customs, and traditions from their country. This book is the perfect introduction for children to learn about diversity and inclusion of all heritages. Plus, it will expand their palate as they will be eager to try the delicious foods common to other countries. My son made me promise to make him Brazilian feijoada as he loves black beans.

The illustrations enhance this book showing the children experiencing unfamiliar activities is essential to learn more about other cultures. They are both detailed and whimsical.

Learning about your own culture and heritage is also encouraged with follow up activities included as bonus materials.

I was provided a free advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review from Net Galley. The opinions shared in this review are my own.

This is a collectible. Just grab a copy when it comes out!

I find this story picture book quite fun as well as educational. And yes, please do not expect such storybooks to mention all kinds of food and traditions from a culture represented.

Yes, pani puris are my favourites too! Wow! The multicultural representation is done well. I guess the author is doing a series on the introduction of such cultural background, origin and places and the like when I last checked.

Kids will get to learn new places, new words and some new dishes from around the world when they're read this book.

I quite enjoyed the new things introduced in this book. I love the illustrations. I love the characters involved. I loved the glossary towards the end. I love how a practical exercise is given so that a fun activity can be done by the kids alongwith their parents or teachers to make a heritage box.

Love the book!

Thank you, authors and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

I really like this book and the illustrations were lovely!

The book explained about different cultures by using a set of best friends who live close together but all have different backgrounds – I liked that the book also showed some of the different foods too

The book is well written and easy to follow and understand. I read this book with my daughter who is a massive fan of the BBC CBeebies programme My World Kitchen and this was a little similar so it was a hit with her!

It is 4 stars from me for this one – a great idea that was well developed and is very highly recommended!

This book explores the heritages of 5 friends. And it poses questions to the reader about their own heritage. It talks about music, food, sports, and traditions. I liked the book overall, but I wish it would have touched on people who are adopted and maybe don't know their heritage. If you have adopted or foster children, this probably is not a great book to read with them.
