This book shows that children around the world doing things most children
do and are familiar with school lunches, uniforms or no school uniforms,
classes, chores at home, homework, playing games or outside and being
with friends.
As well as other things children might not have to do here in the United
States like having to walk 5 miles to school and back each day, signs on
doors that say this is a gun-free zone (South Africa), or having to eat
school lunches nothing from home is allowed, serving classmates lunch
(Japan) and growing food for school and home (Mexico)to name a few
things that are different.
