Genre: informational
A great multicultural book for presenting children's life around the world, using exquisite, moving photographs and Barbara Kerley’s poetic text to convey a simple yet profound concept: we are one global family. This is also a sophisticated concept book, presented as an elegant picture book with contributions from top international photographers. At the end, each image is reprinted as a thumbnail and accompanied by a detailed caption. It fits in elementary school students.
This book uses a combination of text and pictures to portray the information. It is an interesting technique, as the text shows the similarities and the pictures are what differ (for example, "Time for school." is accompanied by many pictures of the many different ways in which children get to school). The information is accurate in this book, in that they are real pictures. ( )
