This Is How We Do It: One Day in the Lives of Seven Kids from Around the World by Matt Lamothe
4.0
This book introduces the reader to seven boys and girls (ages 7-11) from around the world: India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, and Uganda. Each child shares snapshots of their typical day, including what they eat for each meal, how they travel, what a typical school day entails, how they address their teachers, and how they enjoy spending free time. While differences can be noted among cultures, they share many more similarities. The book provides a window into very different cultures, but highlights how we are all alike.
Illustrations throughout the book are based on pictures shared by the students and their families. A glossary identifies and defines words underlined throughout the text.
Young readers will enjoy learning about children from other cultures and learn to appreciate diversity. No judgements are made; information is reported in short, factual statements. The text would also be appropriate for students in upper elementary or middle school studying human geography.
