Description:
|
There are currently more than six billion people on the planet! This enormous number can be difficult to grasp, especially for a child. But what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people? By exploring the lives of the 100 villagers, children will discover that life in other nations is often very different from their own. The shrunk-down statistics — some surprising, some shocking — and David Smith’s tips on building “world-mindedness” will encourage readers to embrace the bigger picture and help them to establish their own place in the global village.
In this village of 100 people:
22 people speak a Chinese dialect
20 earn less than a dollar a day
32 are of Christian faith
17 cannot read or write
39 are under 19 years old
9" x 12". 32 pgs. Ages 7 and up. Grades 2 and up.
