From School Library Journal 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 Read more Review "A global introduction that goes beyond the usual symbols and sights."-Kirkus Reviews Read On Wisconsin! State Reading List 2018-2019 Booklist Editor's Choice "This is exactly the sort of book I love getting for my kids."--Jason Kottke, kottke.org "Readers will enjoy making cultural comparisons . . . as they follow each child through his or her day."-The Horn Book Magazine, starred review "My kids get to see that their way of life isn't the only way. 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 Read more About the Author Matt Lamothe is one third of the award-winning design company ALSO as well as the coauthor of The Exquisite Book, The Where, the Why and the How, and The Who, the What, and the When.
