No matter where they live, children are always curious about the world. But nothing proves more fascinating to them than other children. Exploring the themes of commonality and diversity, this informational picture book introduces young readers to 12 children from around the world. Speaking in the first person, the children briefly describe such things as the language, food, clothing, schooling and daily life of their region. One of the most appealing aspects of this book is the artwork, which features the use of fabric, paper, mesh, string and felt in multimedia collage. Through the use of colors and textures, each child emerges with a distinctive and endearing personality.

Explores the lives of eight children from different countries around the world.

An encyclopedia designed especially to meet the needs of elementary, junior high, and senior high school students.

The Barefoot Book of children takes its readers on a visual trek across the globe, where they discover that--despite our different clothes and homes and languages--we are more alike than different.

Arranged alphabetically, provides facts about the geography, traditions, and peoples of 192 countries, offering children's artwork and poetry alongside color photographs of children from each country engaged in various activities.

In text and pictures, this book tells us how much better the world would be, if kids were allowed to run the world.
