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.

I LOVE THIS BOOK I LOVE THIS BOOK. Just putting it my classroom library next year will provide an excellent opportunity for students to develop social studies concepts. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying it myself! It is absolutely beautiful, and worth going back to again and again. (Those are the best classroom books!)In addition to the detailed artwork depicting how each child spends each part of his or her day, the book includes a photo of each child and their families, and a map to show where they live.I like the author's note and biographical information at the end. He tells how he compiled the information for making the book, and he outlines his own day. He is almost another character, an inspiring one! Thanks, Matt, for the writing idea for my students!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!Beautiful, detailed, engaging My 8-year-old daughter loves this book. She travels a lot and is interested in other cultures and social studies at school, and she's read this book over and over since we gave it to her, and even took it to school to read to her class because she loved it so much. She enjoys comparing her experience to the other kids', and trying to eat the food they eat when we're in their countries. The illustrations are lovely and the details included -- from real families highlighted at the end of the book -- really grab her imagination. If you have a child interested in the wide world around them and how people live in different cultures, I highly recommend this book.
