“A must-have for a multicultural library!”
“… something so unique and special that you will want to read it over and over to let its power sink in.”
“A special and wonderful book which I highly recommend.”
“My favourite page is the last one, where the grown up is saying, ‘Welcome’ on their sign and the kid is saying ‘Thanks’ on their sign.”
“Sometimes we just need to be human, show empathy, put ourselves in someone else’s shoes, try to imagine what their journey is like and be kind.”

“So much more than a wonderful counting book – this is so heart-felt ♥️”
“… a refreshingly modern take on a traditional concept book, (and) tugs at the heartstrings with every turn of the page. Children of all ages will be compelled to return to this book again and again, as they shift from the pure joy of learning how to count, towards an understanding of complex ideas such as migration, inclusivity, and compassion.”
“A colourful counting delight with an important and special message.”
“This counting book by Hollis Kurman with illustrations by Barroux is a poignant book that centres on themes of migration, refugees and inclusivity…Not only is this beautifully illustrated, it educates children in a number of ways and is a great addition to an inclusive bookshelf.”
