K-Gr 3—An illustrated take on how seven real kids from different countries go about a typical day. Each spread introduces a new topic (family, teachers, chores, dinner, play, etc.) and dedicates a panel to each child, identified by country, with glossary words underlined ("Iran: I live in a second-floor apartment in the city of Gorgan, close to the Caspian Sea."). Lamothe was able to create the digitally rendered illustrations based on photos sent to him by the families featured (a family photo for each child is included at the end). The muted palette in combination with the level of detail makes for a pleasing visual experience. An ending spread with a night sky scattered with stars and a glowing full moon is accompanied by the words, "This is my night sky," hinting that though these kids may lead very different lives, they all sleep under the same sky. In the "Meet the Families" section, Lamothe emphasizes that "not everyone in Peru likes to play soccer, and not everyone in Japan eats fish for breakfast," smartly communicating that the work is just one representation of much larger, complex communities. Endpapers provide a visual map of each child's name and country, including a cameo of the author. VERDICT A good purchase to refresh social science and geography collections.—Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI "A global introduction that goes beyond the usual symbols and sights."-Kirkus ReviewsRead On Wisconsin!

And that's a really important lesson. For us all."--Cool Mom Picks"I LOVE this book. Consider it an essential for any children's library."--Design Mom"Helps children understand the world more globally."--Charlotte News & Observer"A good title for a read-aloud, as well as for the study of world communities."-School Library Connection
In Japan, Kei plays Freeze Tag, while in Uganda, Daphine likes to jump rope. While the way they play may differ, the shared rhythm of their days—and this one world we all share—unites them.

... will be a jumping off point for so many great explorations and writings This will be the first picture book I share with my class this year - and it will be a jumping off point for so many great explorations and writings! We live in an age when our children need to be aware of (and accepting of) the many diverse cultures we have globally. Matt makes learning about 7 other cultures a beautiful journey while uniting all with the simple theme of what happens in our days! I absolutely LOVE how it ends with the night sky that we all share - powerful message!This book should be enjoyed in every elementary classroom!I wish the format of the book was different This book is very nice, beautiful pictures and I love that it shows different parts of life for 7 different children from around the world. However, I was disappointed by the format of the book. I found it confusing that each page shows everything from all seven kids lives. All seven outfits they wear, all seven different meals they eat. I wouldn't mind so much if the order on the page at least stayed the same throughout the book, but the order shown (by country) changes each time. I found it confusing to follow myself, so I doubt my kids who I was hoping to use the book with as a teaching tool will be able to follow very easily. I wish the book would just go one child/country at a time. I think it would be easier to compare and contrast that way.Highly recommend purchasing this! My 5-year-old loves this book! Since we've gotten it, we have read it countless times. She's kind of a foodie, so she particularly enjoys the breakfast, lunch, and dinner ones. It's also been great for her to recognize the letters/words of the names of other countries around the world as she prepares to enter kindergarten in the fall. She was very excited to show this to her grandpa who travels the world regularly, and he also appreciated it. Great purchase!
