Inspired by author and illustrator Matt Lamothe's own travels, this book follows a day in the life of seven real kids from Italy, Japan, Iran, India, Peru, Uganda, and Russia. In Japan Kei plays Freeze Tag, while in Uganda Daphine likes to jump rope. While the way they play may differ, the shared rhythm of their days—and this one world we all share—unites them. This genuine exchange provides a window into traditions that may be different from our own as well as a mirror reflecting our common experiences.

This book provides children with a look into the lives of others across the globe and helps them learn about other cultures and customs. It provides an excellenty learning opportunity to discuss the importance of similarities and differences in people's lives and communities.

This book is perfect for P1-3 but can be explored with all year groups.
