Description
With various family configurations and settings ranging from a busy outdoor market to a high-rise apartment kitchen, the book wholeheartedly celebrates diversity. Gorgeous cut-paper collage art adds warmth and brightness, and brings the lyrical text to life. Repetition of the phrase “Upsy-daisy” on each spread lends familiarity, and reminds readers that love for a little one is a universal feeling.

GORGEOUS 3-dimensional paper art. I felt like I could just reach out and touch it. Inclusive of gender, culture, and ability, with people of all different ages and sizes. Colorful, fun, happy... this one is a must-buy.

This is a great book depicting various family makeups as well as diversity. Using babies and how they are carried, they show families from around the world. The illustrations are wonderful. They are done by cutting and pasting layers of paper and it makes them look three-dimensional. This is a good book for family libraries as well as kits in a school library when teaching about diversity and multiculturalism.

Babies from around the world are lifted into the arms of those that love them in this beautifully illustrated and multicultural book! Perfect for helping little ones learn all about the similarities and differences of others, this book would be a great addition to any elementary classroom!

"Up" is a beautiful picture book displaying diverse families, lifestyles and communities and how they carry their young children. I truly appreciated the author's dedication to showing families from around the world as well as people of varying abilities. This book would be an excellent addition to an early childhood study of families or different cultures. I am looking forward to sharing this with my class.
Nicole H, Educator
I love this book as it depicts kids from all over the world and how they are carried. Simple language and nice pictures help create an interesting read for young children.
This is a fabulous book. The illustrations are beautiful and display a tremendous amount of diversity of different types of families and different family members. The characters are all different colors and races and the family makeup is so variably structured that it just shines through.
The illustrations are wonderful. They are done by cutting and pasting layers of paper and it makes them look three-dimensional. This is a good book for teaching about diversity and multiculturalism.
I received this ARC Owlkids Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
