Follow one day in the real lives of seven kids from around the world!
This informative and fascinating illustrated book is perfect for
learning how children live across the globe.
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.
From Italy, Japan, Iran, and India to Peru, Uganda, and Russia, author
Matt Lamonthe transports readers across the globe and back with this
luminous and thoughtful picture book. Getting a glimpse into everyday
routines across the culture map provides a window into traditions that
may be different from our own as well as mirrors reflecting our common
experiences.
GEOGRAPHY FOR KIDS: Children who love learning about new cultures and
customs will find a world of fascination in these pages. From food to
sports to daily chores, this wonderful nonfiction book for kids features
delightful illustrations that are accompanied, in a final section, by
photographs of the featured children with their families.
THE WAY THINGS WORK: Inspired by his own travels, author-illustrator
Matt Lamonthe created this entertaining resource to educate children on
the importance of similarities and differences, and to give them a
unique look into the lives and everyday routines of other kids on earth.
ORDINARY PEOPLE CHANGE THE WORLD: A little history of the world shows us

with a taste of cultural studies sized just right for young readers.
