"Sam and Sophie at the Festival" was a rhythmic read that spotlighted children learning different cultures and traditions in a fun way. I thought illustrations were vibrant and very eye-catching. This would make a great addition to any young readers collection of books!

Thank you York Arthur Baldwin, Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for providing me with an ARC of this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher York Arthur Baldwin for this advance readers copy in exchange for my honest feedback! This book is perfect book for children to learn about different cultures and areas of our world. The illustrations are beautiful and bright! Perfect book to add to your library at home or at school!

This is an adorable story with with a rhythmic writing style that both children and caregivers will love.

Sam and Sophie celebrate their Filipino and British heritage with their family. They get inspired and invite their classmates to celebrate with them.

The illustrations are gorgeous! They're colorful, detailed, and tell a story all their own. For any child who isn't reading yet, they will be able to follow along and create their own story just by using their illustrations.

This would be perfect for a multicultural family who are blending different traditions. Other families who like to learn about different cultures and traditions would also find a lot of joy in this book.

Teachers, schools, and librarians could also use this book to kick-off learning about different cultures. There are so many foods and games mentioned in this book that any educator could use it as a springboard to introduce those games and foods in class when learning about other cultures.

I'm really looking forward to additional stories in this series where they will explore different cultures and traditions.

This was a great story showing kids 2 different cultures. i thought the Illustrations were great.
i would recomend to parents with young children.

I received a free copy of, Sam and Sophie at the Festival: An Incredible Clash of Cultures, by York Arthur Baldwin, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Sam and Sophie are twins. They go to a festival to learn about other cultures and traditions. This is a good read, it shows children they can have more than one culture and traditions.

This colorful rhyming story showcases twins Sam and Sophie and their family as they celebrate the foods and activities of the Philippines and Great Britain. After attending a festival of cultures together the twins share their experiences and foods at lunch and invite their school friends to come to their house later and show them more fun things.
The illustrations by the author are simple, brilliantly colorful, and FUN.
Perfectly suited for reading alone or WITH someone of ANY age including ESL, and great for gifting to families, but especially to a school, or your public library!
I requested and received a temporary digital PDF from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley. Thank you!

I thought that this book was excellent!

I love learning about new cultures and traditions with my daughter and we loved reading this book together. We try different foods, learn different things where we can too so this was a pleasure to read.

I thought that the illustrations in the book worked well to bring the story to life too. It was all really well done and it is certainly a book I am recommending - it is 5 stars from me for this one - can't wait to see what they get up too on their next adventure!

Sam and Sophie at the Festival:An Incredible Clash of Cultures by York Arthur Baldwin. I think children will find the children exciting as they talk about going to festivals. Festivals are exciting. The colors in the book are bright and exciting.

Sam and Sophie are British-Filipino siblings. Their mother is Filipino and the father is British. They live in the north of England with their parents and Lola who is a Filipino. Sam and Sophie eat delicious food at the festival. They find different cultures at each turn and sample other foods that they enjoyed. They dance at the festival with the dancers dancing to music. They have a fun day at the festival learning.

This is a beautiful and colorful book. It’s a great way to introduce your child to cultures that they may not be aware of. Even though they may not be neighbors, our world grows smaller and are more likely to meet people from other cultures. I enjoyed the excitement and joy of the children discovering new things.—its excellent.
