BETHPAGE, N.Y. — Former social studies teacher Carole P. Roman has penned a new addition in her exiting explorations of foreign cultures and customs with “If You Were Me and Lived in … Australia”. In her years as a teacher, parent and grandparent, Roman noticed that there have been few, if any, books about other cultures for young children. Roman has remedied the deficit and now introduces the new Australia installment in a series that educates kids, parents and teachers, alike. Roman recognizes that children love to discover the differences and similarities of other people and places in far-off lands. In this series, she describes details that kids can relate to. Tailored to children from 3-to-8-years old, her writing is simple but does not talk down to youngsters. Some of the topics that are introduced in this journey to Australia are the ordinary indigenous animals, the odd Great Barrier Reef, the currency, the beloved game of cricket and the national holiday, Australia Day, in addition to the special nicknames people have for one another and the curious taste sensation, Vegemite. “This series is just enough facts to begin a discussion without overwhelming the child and will also be expanded or gotten smaller to fit the age group,” Roman explains. “Carole P. Roman has created a marvelous premise for her series of educational children’s books: young readers are given the opportunity to realistically envision a foreign country without leaving their homes, libraries, or classrooms….Roman’s formula allows for such a lot lovely variety in every book of this series that it hardly seems like a formula at all…If You Were Me and Lived in …Kenya is a short, vibrant picture book, brightly illustrated in cool animated film style. The text is scant, appropriate, and does not deviate from the central theme.” ForeWord Reviews Clarion Review
