Around the World in Eighty Poems

Reach for this book when your child expresses curiosity about life in other parts of the world or when you want to nurture a sense of global citizenship through art. This collection serves as a poetic passport, introducing children to the rhythms, flavors, and landscapes of over fifty countries. It is an ideal choice for fostering empathy and a sense of belonging in an increasingly interconnected world. Through eighty carefully selected poems, James Berry bridge the gap between 'us' and 'them' by highlighting universal human experiences: the joy of a festival, the quiet of a rural evening, or the hustle of a city street. The language is accessible yet rich, making it perfect for independent reading or shared family time for children aged 8 to 12. It is a beautiful tool for celebrating both our unique cultural identities and our shared humanity.
