Learn about the incredible everyday lives of real children from around the world in this book about people and places for kids aged 7 to 9. From clothing around the world to different kinds of food, find out about everyday lives through the eyes and words of children themselves. In Children Just Like Me you will travel to a river in Vietnam to find out what life is like for Tai, who lives on a houseboat, and you will jet off to the plains of Tanzania to meet Shigo, a member of the Maasai people. This fantastic book about people and places is packed with original photography of children, their friends and family, home and school. It vividly illustrates different cultures around the world, from rural farms to busy cities. It is a celebration of children - a celebration of their similarities and of their differences. It's an important book for our times. So get ready to take a journey around the world to meet Children Just Like Me!
