Description

In this whimsically-drawn and thoughtfully-told story, children learn what it means to be global by visiting the pyramids, eating sushi, celebrating Kwanzaa, and learning how to say “hello” in Swahili. The book is a conversation starter for parents and educators to teach children about the goodness in exploring, appreciating, and respecting other children's traditions, religions, and values the world over.

“‘Global’ encourages children to explore the world’s various cultures, religions, languages, and traditions. It takes the young reader further, though, than just inciting an interest in other cultures, it suggests that by tasting the different foods, understanding the different beliefs, visiting different places, knowledge will grow into respect and exchange. Of course, the pages are overflowing with kids of all sorts of ethnic backgrounds, all with huge, endearing grins. The illustrations are colourful, whimsical and happy and match the simple text and message well. For children from 6 – 9. While I am sure this has the classroom as a target, I think it would make a great present and basis for discussion, with any child.” ~ Joanna Marple, Miss Marple’s Musings

“By introducing children early on to concepts of globalization, we stand a greater chance of the next generation utilizing technology and creativity to create a healthier and happier world. The key is presenting our interconnection to kids in a fun and positive manner, helping them to understand the wonders of our differences and the wonders of our similarities, so they grow up feeling empowered and excited to be part of this global family! If you’re not quite sure how to get started, check out this sweet and lighthearted book, What Does It Mean to Be Global?, by author Rana DiOrio.” ~ EcoMom
