A wonderful series, Tina. Children everywhere should be able to 
relate to them, especially since they show your own compassion and 
connection. Children in the US might relate to them more, though if 
there were more pictures of children from other parts of the world 
(or N. America) that were somewhat closer to their own culture and 
background. Not the same, but closer, to indicate the range.
