One Family by George Shannon
I desperately wanted to like this. The end message (one world, one family, etc.) is fantastic, but getting there is SO CONFUSING. This is maybe a book for like an intermediate reader, but it would be extremely confusing to a kid learning numbers. It is extremely confusing to a bunch of children's librarians!
That being said, I LOVE the illustrations. They're simple but so beautiful and inclusive. That made it all the more heartbreaking that this book is otherwise not great. I will definitely seek out [a:Blanca Gomez|7741261|Blanca Gomez|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]' previous work and keep my eyes peeled for it in the future.
