A thought-provoking introduction for children to the people who live on our planet.
There are almost 8 billion humans living on Earth, but it's tricky to picture so many people! So instead, let's imagine the whole planet is a village where 100 people live – each person representing around 80 million people in the real world.
So what does our global village of 100 people look like? Are they all grown-ups? Are there more males or females? How many have black hair or blue eyes? What languages do they speak? Who can read and write? How many have access to the internet or have enough food to eat? Does everyone have access to electricity or clean water?
This book answers all of these questions and much, much more! Big ideas are broken into bitesize chunks through clever illustration and graphic design. By focussing on just 100 people, it's easier to see the things we have in common, and the things that make us unique. If the World Were 100 People is a perfect introduction about the world we live in for children aged 5+ and a wonderful way to support them in becoming global citizens. Great to read at home or in the classroom.
So come and meet the people in our global village, and think about the big questions that affect us all!
This award-winning, double-sided foldout book takes you on a
fascinating journey down through the layers of the Earth, all the
way to the planet's core and out the other side. *Picked by the
Guardian as one of '15 Modern Classics' books* When you're out
walking around, whether on the city streets or a country trail,
there's always so much to see and hear. But do you ever stop and
look down? Have you ever wondered what's going on deep in the
ground under your feet? There are so many amazing sights to see!
One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst
the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside. The
underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows,
layers of rock and the planet's molten core, each running
seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering
subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The
Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore
their world through a detailed learning experience. And its
foldout, laperello (or concertina) style, which extends to 2.5
metres in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore
over for hours. Explore even more of the world with The Skies Above
My Eyes (August 2018) and The World Around Me (October 2020),
companion books from the Look Closer series.
