Our Review

This vibrant picture book invites readers to a multicultural celebration where Cherry's rainbow family and neighbors gather for a street party filled with international foods and family traditions. Young detectives ages 4-8 will enjoy searching for Granny while exploring themes of inclusion and belonging through colorful illustrations of diverse community members. The story cleverly weaves an engaging missing-person mystery into a celebration of cultural diversity that keeps children actively involved in the narrative.

What sets this book apart is how seamlessly it combines a playful seek-and-find element with meaningful lessons about acceptance and community spirit. Parents will appreciate how the story naturally introduces different cultural traditions without being didactic, while children will connect with the joyful celebration atmosphere and the satisfying resolution when Granny's whereabouts are finally revealed. This heartwarming tale demonstrates that every family has a place at the table in a truly inclusive neighborhood.
