Mr B's review
A terrific book for curious minds, this beautifully illustrated book answers the everyday questions kids want to know about life in other countries – what do the children wear? What do they eat? What does their classroom look like? What kind of house do they live in? Taking the life of seven real kids in countries from Japan and Russia to Uganda and Iran, this is a stylish and thought-provoking way to open up a window onto the world.
Description
Follow one day in the real lives of seven kids from around the world-Italy, Japan, Iran, India, Peru, Uganda, and Russia!
In Japan, Kei plays Freeze Tag, while in Uganda, Daphine likes to jump rope. While the way they play may differ, the shared rhythm of their days-and this one world we all share-unites them.
This genuine exchange provides a window into traditions that may be different from our own as well as mirrors reflecting our common experiences. Inspired by his own travels, Matt Lamonthe transports readers across the globe and back with this luminous and thoughtful picture book.
