Review :
"I loved What If We Were All Merry! because it charmingly addresses cultural diversity. It reminds us that traditions among friends may differ, but respect and affection should remain constant. C M Harris's narrative style is fun. She uses short sentences and rhymes that make reading entertaining, and her ideas highlight values such as kindness, empathy, and the joy of sharing...I also thought the illustrations by Vitor Lopes were wonderful."

"...This book could be read at home by parents, or in school by a teacher, both as an inspirational as well as an educational aid. I can't emphasize enough the importance of exposing young children to the message of tolerance for cultural differences and of embracing diversity in their own environment, especially during the holiday season that celebrates love and joy. I highly recommend What If We Were All Merry! by C.M. Harris."
