Around the World (We All Share)

By Lakin, Patricia

Publishers Summary:
Ballet, wood sculpture, basket weaving; expressions of creativity vary around the world, but the need to create is shared by all human beings no matter where they live. This book explains and explores the roots of art forms and ancient crafts that have become important parts of each country's cultural identity. Kids around the world are all different. But they're also all the same. The We All Share series shows young readers the many aspects of life that people everywhere have in common. Striking photographs give a glimpse of families, adolescence, creativity, and play from around the globe. These pages encourage young readers to appreciate the wonderful customs and practices of other cultures. And, as children note how each society is unique, it becomes clear that we're all the same in so many ways. Grades 2-5; 7 1/2 x 9; 32 pages; Sturdy library binding; Glossary; Index; 20-25 large-format, full-color photos
