A Photographic Journey around the World takes its readers on a journey across the alphabet and around the world. They will find out what children do with their families in Mexico, how they dress for festivals in Japan, and what they ride to school in India. They will learn how children say hello in different countries. The children in this book are growing up in places that are different from one another in many ways.
Some countries have rain forests while others have deserts.
Some countries are predominantly Christian, and some are Buddhist, or Hindu, or Muslim. These differences among nations affect the daily lives of children, as the pictures and stories in this book show. But children also have a lot in common, no matter where they live or what language they speak. Readers will discover, too, an imaginary country, Xanadu, described in the words and drawings of some children living in the United States. It is the one place you cannot find on a map because it can only be explored in your imagination.
