These are ideal resources that offer a real glimpse into what life is like for other children and families in other parts of the world, in terms of things that we have in common but that are different, such as food, family, education, animals/pets and much more. || Well worth having at home, in the classroom or the library! || A good, well produced title to have to have in early years to help broaden children's awareness of life in another country. || Shortlisted: Warm colourful illustrations with much interesting detail combine with a simple text to give a vivid account of four year old Deron's first day at nursery school... This book will appeal to any child about to start chool in any country and will provide a starting point for reassuring conversations. || "This is just one in a brilliant series of books that give children a very tangible idea of what life is like for children and families in very different parts of the world... such books should be implicit in your setting for children to readily access and choose freely on a daily basis because they support cultural diversity and inclusion in a very positive way." || "Sharing the experiences of these activities in an African setting allowing children to capture the universality of such first experiences."
