November 7, 2009Summary:
The simple text (three-six words on a page) of this text is supported by the fantastic photographs, offering readers a glimpse at how people around the world share in the same task: work. Readers are shown how men, women, and children work together or alone, at home or away, all across the globe! We see a chef in France putting the finishing touches on a delicious dish, a father and son weaving fishing traps on the Ivory Coast, a seamstress making a dress in Togo, and a young boy counting his vegetable inventory at a market in Portugal, to name just a few. The final three pages provide readers with an photograph index, naming the country and the work being done in each photograph, as well as a map on the final page entitled, "Where in the world were these photographs taken?" What a powerful way to expose young readers to the connections and diversity we share around the world!
