In class one day, Elliot was drawing his world and the
teacher decided to send it around the world and it ended up in the hands of
another little boy, Kailash. Elliot lives and America and Kailash lives in
India. They write and to each other and share how their world is. As they are
writing to each other they realize there are many differences in their culture,
yet they are the same. They both live with their family, but the people look
different. They both have an alphabet, but the letters are different.
The illustrations are vivid and colorful. Jenny Sue
Kostecki-Shaw does a great job showing the differences in culture, yet how they
are similar. I liked the illustration when Kailash was explaining what his city
looked like. She used the river to give a tone of movement to the story and
shows the architect of India. The illustrations have many patterns. The
illustrations use both drawing and painting. She captures American and Indian
culture and shows similarities and differences through her illustrations.
