You must be logged in and have a valid library card to stream downloadable content

Adam and his family spend an exciting day at the colorful and bustling Eastern Market. But when Adam gets briefly separated from Mom and Dad, he mistakes a friendly, diverse cast of characters for his parents in their traditional Muslim clothing--and shows that we all have more in common than you might think. This nearly-wordless picture book celebrates diversity and community in vibrant, dynamic art.

Common Threads submitted by SBNB on July 6, 2020, 10:25am There are almost no words in this book. Adam gets separated from his parents and ends up interacting with people from many different cultures, ethnicities, and religions. At the end, there are a couple paragraphs about how clothing can indicate something about the person wearing it and how people from different backgrounds living together peacefully creates a better world.
