REVIEW
Great book even for a young adult like myself. I love it. I am giving it 4 stars because there's an imbalance of fairness. After all, I see some countries got 1-2 pages covered with facts just for them while so many others like Haiti got half a page. Also, instead of putting the earthquake in Haiti as the most relevant about the country, you could have mentioned that Haiti was the first Black country to get its independence from France's colonization. As a Haitian educator, I think this is more relevant than the earthquake. Don't get me wrong, I still love everything about the book when it comes to the aesthetics and simple language used. But it's not a fair share book I think.
