This story reminds me when I was a young boy lost in the market. I was frantically looking for my mum after being separated from her at the outdoor market. Every stranger I met shared a similar clothing with my mum. My favorite part is when Adam searches for his parents, and all of the strangers from different cultural background were working together to help him find his mum.
This is a great book if you are teaching children on inferencing skills. A wordless picture book for young readers that captures different cultures. Huda Essa and Merce Tous give a powerful message on cultural differences and diversity. It teaches young children to view cultural differences in a kind and human way
