Named a 2000 Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies.
Children and connection across the world
Norma Simon’s nonfiction picture book considers childhood through examples drawn from both neighborhood life and places around the world. Its comparisons connect children’s everyday surroundings with other cultures and distant lands, placing local relationships alongside a broader view of how children live. The book’s central subject is shared childhood across differences, with understanding and acceptance as guiding ideas. Published in 1999, it offers a social-studies perspective for young readers through comparisons rather than a single setting or narrative.
