Is there really a human race?
Is it going on now all over the place?
When did it start?
Who said, "Ready, Set, Go"?
Did it start on my birthday?
I really must know.
With these questions, our hero's imagination is off and running. Is the human race an obstacle course? Is it a spirit? Does he get his own lane? Does he get his own coach?
Written with Jamie Lee Curtis's humor and heart and illustrated with Laura Cornell's worldly wit, Is There Really a Human Race? Is all about relishing the journey and making good choices along the way—because how we live and how we love is how we learn to make the world a better place, one small step at a time.
Both sage and silly, this book offers a great opportunity for parents and children to slow down and explore how best to live life. Confused by the term "human race," a young boy questions whether people are literally in a race. His mom's reply: "Sometimes it's better not to go fast. There are beautiful sights to be seen when you're last." As in previous ventures, Cornell's high-energy tableaux humorously complement Curtis's heartwarming message to enjoy the journey and help others ("take what's inside you and make big, bold choices. And for those who can't speak for themselves, use bold voices"). In one picture, people scurry frantically in a giant hamster wheel. In a contrasting scene, a Muslim and a Jew share a peaceful game of Go Fish: "Do you have any 2's?" (Ages 6 to 8)

reviewed Is There Really a Human Race? on September 18, 2012 Is There Really a Human Race?
The book I selected as a read aloud was "Is there really a human race", written by Jamie Lee Curtis and illustrated by Laura Cornell. This book is perfect for a read aloud for younger students! The illustrations are big, bold and bright. They would be able to keep the students attention and make them interested in the story. The story itself was also very well written. It follows a boy who is learning about race and thinks its literally a race that he must prepare and train for. He goes through the colorfully illustrated pages and wonders about how exactly this race works. At the end of the book he ends up realizing that we should all just try our best because if were rushing we won't see the beauty of the world. The story ends with making friends and helping make the world a better place for the whole human race. I really enjoyed this book and think children would too! It could be used in the beginning of the year when getting to know classmates and how students realize their differences but they are all in this "race" together.
