Bright, uplifting photographs show children from different countries dressed in traditional clothing from each culture. Captions suggest context for the images; â€œDressing up means celebrating who we are... and what we believe,â€ reads one. A smiling child from Papua New Guinea wears a feathered crown and necklace, while two children from Ethiopia are adorned with decorative beads and shells. Another spread shows children from Japan, the United Kingdom, the U.S., and Malawi dressed in sports uniforms. Although the book doesnâ€™t include any specific information or details about the apparel featured, end pages suggest ways for readers to discover more about clothing worn around the world, both in the past and in the present. Ages 4â€“7.
