The Beauty of Differences

A beautiful simple childrens' book. Jafta and the Wedding was pleasant and easy to read. This book brings to life the imagination and joys of being a child. The simplistic use of a cream backdrop and hues of brown stepped out with a persona that complimented the text. No other colors were used which made this book to me rich and authentic in its written vein. If you are open to introducing culture to children this would be good for starters. Before reading Jafta and the Wedding, talk about how we celebrate weddings,how children play in the States and contrast after reading the story. I could visualize the scenes and I felt as if I was there! A wonderful childrens' book!
