Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Stanton is a street photographer and creator of the New York Times best seller Humans of New York (St. Martin's, 2013). That book consists of an array of photos of a spectrum of people Stanton encountered on the street, accompanied by impromptu interviews. Here, his photographic eye is once again masterly, but in this book his subjects are children, and the interviews have been replaced by a simple free-verse poem that celebrates childhood. These kids are definitely free spirits, dressed in the quirkiest of outfits. They all seem to shout personality and individuality, and again, the quality of the photography will draw in readers. While not an essential purchase, it will be a browser's delight.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ

    Don't buy this book expecting it to be like traditional Humans of New York posts/books, with a backstory for each picture. This is a children's book, with only one line per page, with a rhyming rhythmn to give it sort of a sing-song feel as you read it out loud. My son LOVED this book from the time we got it when he was about 9 months old through now, when he's over 2. He likes pictures of real people and now we enjoy talking about what each child is doing in the pictures. I love that it features children from all sorts of backgrounds engaging in all sorts of activities. I highly recommend it.

    This was an instant hit with our twin girls (aged 3) they took one look and said they want to read the 'friends' book.

    It's a short and simple bedtime read with positive messages about how children learn and grow accompanied by charming photos of the children of New York City. (New Yorkers will have fun trying to place which street and which block the photos were taken on).

    It's a great visual book with a lot of appeal to younger readers. There's not all that much there for parents but at least it's a fun and easy read.

    "Today in microfashion..." I'm a big HONY fan on Facebook, and my heart always melts when I see these words.

    My young daughters really loved the HONY book that Santa brought to me last Christmas. We've really enjoyed flipping through it together and talking about the pictures, wondering about the people and their lives.

    This book is a really cute, easy to read and fun to explore book! The images are (of course!) beautiful and it's great to share with my children.

    Thank you, Brandon, for sharing your talent with the world!

    4.0 out of 5 stars The text is a bit lacking, but visually it's excellent
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I was so excited to get this for my little cousin because I'm a HUGE fan of HONY. The quality of the book itself is great and so are a lot of the photos.

    If I'm being honest, I didn't love the text of the story. I'm not sure what I expected, but it didn't have the same depth that I'm used to from HONY posts on facebook and instagram. I didn't expect some profound philosophy, but it just left me feeling a little unsatisfied text-wise.

    It's great for kids who are at the pre-reading age who like to make observations and point out things in books. It would be good for discussing diversity, colors (many of the photos have kids in very colorful outfits and costumes), and teaching new words by pointing and explaining.

    Bought this book for my 18 month old son for Christmas last year and it became his most cherished book. It's all he wanted to read and he carried it around with him. I found him examining the pictures when he was alone in his room. Eventually he memorized the simple text and I could hear him "reading" it all by himself. He's almost 3 now, and it's still a favorite. It's terribly worn by now, but I will keep that book forever and ever. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good book for their child!
