Mirror/Mirah

Mirror/Mirah

by Jeannie Baker

Summary: In Sydney, Australia, and in Morocco, two boys and their families have a day of shopping. Readers are invited to compare illustrations in two wordless stories that are intended to be read one from left to right and the other from right to left.

This is a beautifully illustrated wordless book. There is text at the beginning and the end of the book, but the story itself contains photographed collages and no words. This book is stupendous for celebrating differences, but more importantly similarities. This is a bilingual book containing both English and Arabic text.

Interest Level: grades k-3
