Valdivia, Paloma

Up Above and Down Below

(3) PS Valdivia introduces hemispherical differences through simple text ("If it's planting time up above, it's harvest time down below") and spare, blocky illustrations that clearly delineate above and below with a horizontal line. But there's also a gentle message here for preschoolers: even though "there are different kinds of people" in the world, "they’re all the same, except in a few small ways."
