#MelAndNikkiReview
Like You, Like Me by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw is a charming and heartwarming picture book that celebrates the power of friendship across cultures and distances. The story follows Tulsi and Vanessa, two girls who live on different continents and become pen pals through a school project. They exchange letters and learn about each other’s lives, families, hobbies, and environments.
Through the letter exchange, the girls discover that they have a lot in common, such as loving music, nature, and pranks, but they also appreciate their differences and uniqueness.
The book is beautifully illustrated with colorful and detailed scenes that capture the diversity and beauty of the world. The text is simple and engaging, with a mix of dialogue and narration. The book also includes some fun facts and activities at the end to encourage readers to learn more about the countries and cultures featured in the story.
Like You, Like Me is a wonderful book that teaches children about empathy, curiosity, and global awareness. We highly recommend this book to anyone who loves stories about friendship, diversity, and adventure.
