"Around the world, little ones are carried in many different ways: in slings, on shoulders, in backpacks, on hips, in baskets, and in loving arms. Up! depicts ten places around the world, from Afghanistan to northern Canada, Peru to West Africa. In each place, a mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, or sibling lovingly carries a baby. With various family configurations and settings ranging from a busy outdoor market to a high-rise apartment kitchen, the book wholeheartedly celebrates diversity. Gorgeous cut-paper collage art adds warmth and brightness, and brings the lyrical text to life. Repetition of the phrase "Upsy-daisy" on each spread lends familiarity, and reminds readers that love for a little one is a universal feeling."-- Provided by publisher.

Teaching multiculturalism submitted by hadleysnicole on June 26, 2018, 8:24am I love this book as it depicts kids from all over the world and how they are carried. Simple language and nice pictures help create an interesting read for young children.

This is a fabulous book. The illustrations are beautiful and display a tremendous amount of diversity of different types of families and different family members. The characters are all different colors and races and the family makeup is so variably structured that it just shines through.

The illustrations are wonderful. They are done by cutting and pasting layers of paper and it makes them look three-dimensional. This is a good book for teaching about diversity and multiculturalism.
