Description - Same Here!: The Differences We Share by Susan Hughes
Explore how kids around the world live and the common needs that unite them. Children around the world live vastly different lives from one another - different cultures, different geographic and socio-economic realities, differing access to health and education. Despite these differences, they all share common needs: the need to feel loved and protected, the need to have a place to live, the need to learn, to eat, to play, to share, and to dream for the future. Grounded in careful and extensive research, this book by best-selling author Susan Hughes introduces readers to kids from around the world and the lives they lead. The child-centreed narrative and playful illustrations explore how education, family, free time, and other aspects of daily life look different depending on who you are and where you live. Perfect for fostering a global worldview, Same Here! encourages kids to draw connections to their own lives while learning about the experiences of others.
