This was such a cute read and I LOVED the afterward, explaining the choice behind '9'.
I've been looking for something cute for my children that shows diversity as well as different family types as they head into kindergarten: this is a great message to send to them.

Oh my goodness! This one's so cute and sweet. Nine Little People shows the joy of growing together, learning about each other, and leaving space for all of our cares and wonders. The illustrations are visually stunning, and everyone can see themselves in these nine children. One should definitely pick up a copy and add it to their library.

Nine kiddos born on the same day and we follow them on their adventures - rhyming style.

What I realised is that I knew exactly which rhyme the author was speaking of in her note at the end of the book..

Hopefully this one catches on

I received a complimentary copy of the ebook. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Such an acute book about how we are all people living in the world but our lives can be so different. The art was beautiful. I could see this being a book to read at the beginning of a school year to talk about community and going home to different things.

This was a charming and quick read, perfect for keeping young readers engaged. The text is simple and not overly wordy, making it accessible for children. The illustrations are beautiful and thoughtfully done, showcasing a diverse range of families. I especially appreciated the inclusive representation, not just of different races, but also of disabilities. A lovely, meaningful book for young audiences.

Honestly this book was so beautiful to read. The art was so beautiful but not overpowering, the colors fit very well together giving a calm and happy feeling. The message of togetherness between the little children as they grow is so important to see nowadays with how the world is. The representation of how different families are from each other but how similar at the same time is done super well. You have families represented from different ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, lgbtq+ representation. And something I really loved in the story was seeing children being set into the world of richness as a feeling and associated with happiness and fulfillment rather than money. Overall this was so beautiful and something I would love to buy for my children or a friends child

A whimsical, rhyming exploration of friendship, with a subtle element of righteous indignation, that shows that, for all that makes each person unique and special, the power of human connection unites us all.

This beautiful book features people of various skin colours, looks, ages, backgrounds, etc. and shows how people from all walks of life can be friends and enjoy the same activities. The illustrations are vibrant. There aren't many words but they are enough for young readers to get the message of happiness and togetherness. I also love the author's explanation of why it's 9 little people (and not 10).

9 little people born on the same day in their little community are unique and similar in all kinds of ways. In this adorable little rhyming story, we see how these little people and their families are celebrated, accepted, and grow together.

A very sweet story with wonderful illustrations, and a very quick read. My three year old just wished it was longer!

Thank you to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a sweet book about nine children who are friends but all unique in their own ways.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

This was such a sweet little book, and the artwork was beautiful. It follows 9 mothers about to give birth, from the same neighborhood but different backgrounds. The book takes you through the different stages as the little ones grow. I really enjoyed it! The sentences are quick and easy, it would be great for a story time read, or for an early reader.

I downloaded 9 Little People by Regina Feldmann to read to my little niece, and I ended up loving it just as much as she did! It’s such a sweet and adorable story, with vibrant illustrations and a heartwarming tone throughout. What really stood out to me was the beautiful diversity represented in the characters and the positive message it shares about inclusion and kindness. It’s a perfect read for young children and a great way to spark meaningful conversations. Highly recommend!

This was a very sweet little book.

Loved the unique characters and the background has so much going on with a lot of detail, I know kids would love to find and describe things.

Very nice!

What an incredibly sweet story. I loved the way it portrayed the way we are both the same and different. Beautiful visuals as well. I would definitely purchase this for a young child.

This story was so sweet! I read it with my preschool-aged child and she loved it. The text is simple and straightforward, and the illustrations are full of joy. We sat and looked at each page for a while and my daughter had fun pointing out different aspects of each scene. Such a good message and I loved the diversity and inclusiveness.

We loved this book following nine children born at the same time, and the different lives they live and the friendship they form. It was a beautiful diverse book.

9 Little People was a sweet and adorable read with beautiful illustrations and a lovely message. The focus of diverse children living diverse lifestyles but all growing up with love and kindness is something that is really appreciated in todays climate. I can see this becoming a favourite amongst many young children and families.

9 Little People by Regina Feldmann was inspired by her own daughters observations on children's rhymes, mainly the ones that start with "10.." and often end in toes and fingers. The art style was light and inclusive- showing children and parents of all backgrounds which combined with the rhyming makes it a great read for early readers. It also helps parents with teaching about diversity early and as often as possible in a world that is becoming incredibly isolated and wrought with prejudice. After all, the 9 little people are all the same deep down, but different as individuals.

Also, Martina Stuhlberger's artwork is whimsical, light-hearted and colourful which pairs well with the rhyming and pacing of the book. There are many classroom activites that can be paired with the book, especially with the art style.

ARC provided by NetGalley. This is a thoughtful story celebrating the differences annd similarities among 9 children born on the same day. The rhyming verses and softly colored illustrations are happy and playful. A perfect story to share with little ones to teach them to see the beauty in everyone. These children grow up together and that’s a special bond.

9 Little People is a tender, beautifully illustrated celebration of friendship, belonging, and diversity. Regina Feldman’s sweet rhyming text and Martina Stuhlberger’s vibrant artwork come together to create a picture book that’s both joyful and emotionally resonant.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and family bookshelves, this story offers a timeless message: we’re better together, and our differences make us stronger. A charming, heart-forward read that publishers and parents alike will love.
