This review is from: All in a Day (Picture Books) (Paperback)

(K-8)This is a great book to show children (and adults) that there are people like them all around the world who wake up each morning but live their lives differently and that is ok. The book is a wonderful representation through artwork and captions of what each child around the world does throughout the time period of a day and gives more accurate representations of what cultural norm's are through the images which can help children of all ages understand different countries and ethnicities. This book could be used with children of ages and to explore any content area not to mention it has wonderful illustrators.
