Today is a great day for a walk so a young boy named Daniel is heading to the park for a summer picnic. Along the way, he encounters his neighborhood friends. Not only does he find out that everyone has a different way of saying hello, they each have a special surprise to share. A charming story about diversity. Children's early introduction to various languages, cultures and acceptance. Young children will learn how to greet in a few languages and also learn the names of some favorite foods in these languages. The message is that people are all the same even if we have different ways of expressing ourselves. "The message of friendship across cultures resonates. Children surrounded by diversity will find this book relatable; others may use it as a window into unfamiliar cultures." -Kirkus Reviews
