Editorial Reviews

Review

"Highly Recommended! In this small book, Rebecca Clay has written an interesting and delightfully illustrated exploration of the human family and the various cultural communities in which it lives. The book provides an introduction to basic customs and daily life across the continents. Color photographs appropriately illustrate the text in a manner that enables the reader to understand both the diversity and the commonality of various cultures. Clay presents continent-specific information about geography, child care, the teaching of values, work and play, elder care, and interesting aspects of certain peoples and lands. The index is quite extensive for a 75-page text...This is an inviting and well-designed book that may inspire the reader to seek out more information."
