Product Description

Product Description
Tadessa from Ethiopia Suchart from Thailand Celina from Brazil ... each has hopes and fears dreams and beliefs. Their cultures are different yet in many ways their daily lives are very similar as are their hopes for the future and their ways of looking at the world. Over the past two years a photographer and a teacher have travelled to more than 30 different parts of the world to meet these children. Their stories are recorded in this remarkable book published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Extraordinary photographs bring to life the children's families and homes their clothes and food their friends and favourite games and other aspects of their daily lives. The children live in places as diverse as New York Mongolia and the Amazon Basin. There are children from both industrialised and developing nations including children from tribal cultures. Their environments include mountains deserts rainforests plains and polar regions. Most live in extended or nuclear families but Suchart a novice monk live in a monastery and Tedasse an Ethiopian boy lives in an orphanage. Children everywhere will enjoy reading about the lives of these children who share their world... "I'd love to travel into space because I want to see if there are any creatures on other planets." Ji-Koo South Korea "I like living by the river - I want to live here for the rest of my life. I love the forest and it makes me sad when people chop down the trees." Celina Brazil "I think that the best thing about being a child is that you get lots of love from your family." Michael Israel "I see on television that there is a lot of war and fighting in the world and I wish that it would end and that the world could be peaceful." Houda Morocco

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating, 6 May 1999
By A Customer
I used this book in my third grade classroom. My student population was very diverse and it was a great way to help discuss not only the many ways that we are different but also the many ways we are all the same. My students loved to see how other kids dressed and were especially interested in what other kids ate!! A great book to have in any classroom and I even bought it for my two year old son's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensitive and stimulating for parents and children!, 12 Nov 1996
By A Customer
This exceptional book of excellent photography and educational text provides a personal look at children from around the world. A wonderful book to read with your children over and over again. They'll learn about customs, food, locale, etc. -- and so will you. Buy several and give them as enlightening gifts!-B. Silverstein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book to celebrate diversity, 28 Oct 1998
By A Customer
As the Big Sister to a Cambodian girl, we are faced with many issues of racial diversity. This book helped her to see that diversity is not a bad thing and that we all must embrace our beings, as we are. WONDERFUL book!
