About This Book
Mirror follows two boys through their morning routines, one in Sydney, Australia, and the other in a small village in Morocco. Using beautifully detailed collage illustrations made with fabric, sand, and natural materials, Jeannie Baker tells nearly the entire story without words, letting readers compare and contrast how these families live. A handwoven carpet weaves through both narratives, connecting the two worlds in an understated and lovely way. This picture book helps children see both the unique details of different cultures and the everyday similarities that families everywhere share.
