your family or culture you would like to share? It is easier than you

page, copyright page, contents, glossary and index. If readers are

instructions. Writing also means doing some research. Readers will be
encouraged to explore the world around them and talk to people in
their community who come from different lands. Terms such as custom,
diversity, multicultural and historic are described with colorful
photos and paintings.
