Children Just Like Me: A Unique Celebration of Children Around the World

Descripción:

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Sinopsis:

Reseña del editor: Tadessa from Ethiopia Suchart from Thailand Celina from Brazil ... each has hopes and fears dreams and beliefs. Their cultures are different yet in many ways their daily lives are very similar as are their hopes for the future and their ways of looking at the world. Over the past two years a photographer and a teacher have travelled to more than 30 different parts of the world to meet these children. Their stories are recorded in this remarkable book published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Extraordinary photographs bring to life the children's families and homes their clothes and food their friends and favourite games and other aspects of their daily lives. The children live in places as diverse as New York Mongolia and the Amazon Basin. There are children from both industrialised and developing nations including children from tribal cultures. Their environments include mountains deserts rainforests plains and polar regions. Most live in extended or nuclear families but Suchart a novice monk live in a monastery and Tedasse an Ethiopian boy lives in an orphanage. Children everywhere will enjoy reading about the lives of these children who share their world... "I'd love to travel into space because I want to see if there are any creatures on other planets." Ji-Koo South Korea "I like living by the river - I want to live here for the rest of my life. I love the forest and it makes me sad when people chop down the trees." Celina Brazil "I think that the best thing about being a child is that you get lots of love from your family." Michael Israel "I see on television that there is a lot of war and fighting in the world and I wish that it would end and that the world could be peaceful." Houda Morocco
