Part of the American Cultures for Children Video Series, which introduces children to the rich tapestry of world cultures thriving in America today. Features Tony Award-winning actress Phylicia Rashad. A teacher's guide is included and is available online. | "  ...Highly recommended...Vibrant filmmaking, a sparkling soundtrack, and a fast-paced-yet constantly informative-format, make the American Cultures for Children series a genuine winner on both the educational and the entertainment fronts."- Video Librarian"The videos defy stereotypes, rejoicing in the unique aspects of different cultures, while pointing out how much we have in common. The videos would be delightful and useful additions to multicultural collections." -School Library Journal "Actor Phylicia Rashad hosts these lively, nicely styled concoctions of on-location footage, studio shots, stock clips, animation, and graphics. Both informative and pleasingly presented." - Booklist
