I shared this book and the video with my kindergarten children. We had been learning about different cultures. It helped the children see how many different kinds of people there are in the world. Some have lots of material things, some very little, we wear different clothes, live in different homes, speak different languages but we all need to take care of each other and be thoughtful of each other. Although they didn't understand all the numbers, they loved the illustrations and video presentation. Both are excellent! I also shared this book with my family and I can say it gave us lots to think and talk about. I hope it gives us all more tolerance and understanding with those we interact with each day. Wonderful, thought provoking pieces of literature and film. Appropriate for the very young and very old!
