Everyone needs to Com Out and Play

Maya Ajmera and John D. Ivanko's wonderful picture book, Come Out and Play, features brilliantly detailed photos that depict children from various ethnicities playing and having fun in different countries around the world. A phrase or two accompanies every photo in the book, telling how and where the child in the illustration is playing. For instance, the caption "Paddling a canoe in Guatemala" appears beside a photo of a child doing just that. These abundant, colorful photos throughout the book do a wonderful job of telling children that they are no different than other kids around the world and that it doesn't matter if they speak differently or have a different color skin, they all are alike in some way.
