Good for comparing life in different communities and countries

This book is about a typical day in the life of an eight year-old Brazilian boy, beautifully photographed and will appeal to all age groups

Personal Response: I thought the book was very well written. I think it is important to expose children to the differences and similarities of people who come from different places and speak different languages. I liked how it tied in the facts about Brazil with the events in the book and had photographs to grab a child's attention and show what life really looks like in Brazil. This book would be good for a multicultural lesson and could lead to kids writing their own book about their daily life. ( )
